BIOLOGY 285 Study Guide - Quiz Guide: Nuclear Membrane, Ionic Bonding, Protein Folding
Document Summary
Please type your responses and submit in hard copy. In analyzing differences between star squash players and armchair warriors, you have discovered a protein that only exists in star squash players. You design substrates that will bind to the star protein . Choose from ionic bond, covalent bond, hydrogen bond and van der. Substrate 1 will be the tightest bond because it has an oxygen forming a hydrogen between glutamic acid instead of the nitrogen from substrate 3. Compared to substrate 2, substrate one will form a stronger hydrogen bond between alanine and oh instead of van der waals interactions from the side chain of alanine and sh. Question 2: protein-ligand interactions: you are performing experiments with your protein of interest and its ligand. You are attempting to mutate the binding site of your protein to disrupt binding to ligand to see what happens inside the cell.
