Document Summary

Website for some good review problems on protein structure: http://www. bio. cmu. edu/courses/biochemmols/archquiz/archqmain. htm. Problems at the end of chapter: 1-18 (this is a good mix of problems and you should know all of them). Recitation problems: each amino acid in a run of several amino acid residues in a polypeptide chain has values of approximately. What kind of structure is it likely to be? (look at a ramachandran plot) Figure below gives the torsion angles, and , of hen egg white lysozyme for residues 24 73 of this 129- residue protein. The torsion angles about the rotatable bonds of the side chains are also required to define the three-dimensional structure of a protein: glycophorin a is a glycoprotein that extends across the red blood cell membrane. The portion of the polypeptide that extends across the membrane bilayer contains 19 amino acid residues and is folded in an. The interior of the bilayer includes long acyl chains that are nonpolar.
