First protein structure solved in 1957
myoglobin
set of 20 amino acids can make
160,000 combinations
Heat effects enzyme reaction
increased heat, increases the movement of molecules, with increase the kinetic energy
Membrane lipids
diffuse within the plane of the membranes
Lipids with hydrocarbon tails that are shorter and have many double bonds
are not effected much by temperature, tend to keep the same membrane fluidity
New membrane pospholipids are on
the cytosolic side of the endoplasmic reticulum
Detergents
purify a membrane protein
The nuclear localization sequence
bound by cytoplasmic proteins that direct the nuclear proteins to the nuclear pore
Oligosaccharides are
on the outside of the target cells, white blood cells example
The deletion of proteins forming tight junctions
would cause the redistribution of proteins around the entire cell
FRAP
Floresent Recovery after photo bleaching
SPT
single particle targeting
The principle anion in the extracellular space that balances the sodium is
Cl
Out of glucose, water, gycerol, and ethanol
glucose has the lowest rate of diffusion
Proteases attacking transport proteins would result
in the inability to import sugar into the cell
Transporters
bind and involve confrontational change
K coupled
is not a common active transport, Na ATP and light are however
Ca pumps are important
for preventing Ca from altering the activity of molecules in the cytosol
Gated ion channels
open more frequenctly in response to a given stimuli
Na Open and
resting membrane potential becomes more positive
Voltage-gated ca channels are required
for secreation of neurotransmitters in response to action potential
Three cell types do not all express
an acetylcholine receptor that belongs to the transmitter gated ion channel family
Extracellular signal molecules that are hydrophobic
must bind to a cell surface receptor so as to signal a target cell to change behavior
Opening Cl channels prevents
postsynaptic cells from firing an action potential in inhibitory nurotransmitters
Protein kinases tranfers the
terminal phosphate from ATP onto protein
When a G protein is actived
the alpha subunit exchanges its bound GDP for GTP
Promoting uncontrolled cell proliferation a mutation that inactivates the protein tyrosine phosphatase
that normally removes the phosphates from the tyrosine on the activated receptor
Protein kinase can act as
a signal integrating devise in signaling if it is activated by two or more proteins in different signaling pathways
