1. You were trying to produce a hydrophilic protein from E coli, but the protein you produced is inactive (misfolded) due to a disulfide bond formed between two cysteine residues that are not found in the native form. Your professor suggests you to co-express this protein with a folding assistant enzyme to improve its activity.

(a) Which enzyme is it? (0.4 pt)

(b) What are the functions of this enzyme? Please describe two aspects and indicate which sub-form execute which aspect of the function. (0.6 pt)

(c) What structural features allow them to work on many different clients? (0.5 pt)

Describe in words how fatty acids are released in the body AND how fatty acids arrive at the appropriate cellular location for use (no structures). Beginning from this point, provide the details in words (names of structures, enzymes, cofactors, etc.) for one round of fatty acid degradation.  Include the tissue and cellular locations for each part of the process of harvesting fatty acids for energy. What pathway does the primary product enter next? Provide details in words (names of structures, enzymes, cofactors, etc.) for the reaction steps where carbon leaves the pathway. You don't have to go over the entire pathway – only the steps where carbon is lost.
