Document Summary

This exam will cover the material presented in lectures 1-19, with an emphasis on lectures 10: in studying for this exam, be sure you can work all the problems from the problem sets, quizzes, and practice midterm. Equations and the value of the ideal gas constant will be provided. You will need a calculator, although use of a calculator for anything but calculations (e. g. storage of notes or structures) will be considered cheating. You will need to memorize some structures and nomenclature for this exam. Look at the nucleic acids section below to see what these are. Understand what a coiled coil is and how coiled coils can be predicted based on the primary sequence. Understand how specificity is achieved in a coiled-coil interaction. Understand the difference between a globular and a fibrous protein. Be able to calculate the ratio of unfolded to folded states using g of folding.
