Tertiary structure

1. Given the following amino acids, explain where they would be found in the tertiary structure of a protein and WHY (lack of explanation/incorrect explanations will NOT receive full credit; assume living system of pH = 7.4). Arg Phe Pro Glu His Ala Tyr Val Cys Arginine: This is a charged amino acid that is extremely hydrophilic. It is hydrophilic because while it has an aliphatic side chain that is hydrophobic, it also has two groups where a positive charge resonates between the two…

it throughout the body.13 Proteins typically have four levels of structure: primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary. The primary structure of a protein, such as hemoglobin, helps determine the three dimensional structure and properties of the protein. Primary structure is determined by the amino acid sequence; if the sequence is abnormal than the protein will not function properly.14 Amino acids are linked…

opportunities to practice social skills, assertiveness and rejection of unwanted sexual advances” However, the literature currently lacks a consensus of which characteristics an effective program should possess in terms of targeting, format, duration, structure or whether single or mixed sex groups are more effective (Whitaker et al., 2013). There are numerous differences between the available programs, including variations in the duration of program, to whether the program should be delivered…

study reveals the African American practice of turning to family and fictive kin (nonrelatives, such as friends and neighbors), as an informal source of eldercare, roots run deep (Anderson & Turner, 2010). The African American informal eldercare structure has traditionally been collectivist and consists of varying caregiver configurations and caregiver levels (Apesoa-Varano et al, 2015); (Dilworth-Anderson,…

Using your knowledge of protein structure And “R” groups explain why these are necessary. Matter cannot be destroyed nor created there for proteins are broken down into amino acids and then go through the anabolic reaction which builds them back up 8) Would you hypothesize that the…

from small monomers, build giant tridimensional structures with a lot of different functions. How physical and chemical properties of atoms make these macromolecules possible? What is the chemistry behind their three dimensional configuration? Chemistry inside the fundamental units Nucleic acids are the most important biopolymers because they encode all the information to make any living organism. DNA and RNA have nucleotides as primary structure. They are divided in two groups, purines and…

What is SN2? This is a Nucleophilic Substitution reaction where there are 2 components in the rate determining step. It occurs simultaneously as bonds are made and broken at the same time. During the backside attack, a nucleophile attacks the electrophile from the back and causes an inverse in configuration. This attack causes a leaving group to leave. A transition state is formed while this reaction occurs, which is when the leaving group and nucleophile are attached at the same time. What…

Cholesterol has a unique structure that includes four linked hydrocarbon rings forming the steroid structure. The hydrocarbon tail links to one end of the steroid and a hydroxyl group linked to other end. While the hydroxyl group is able to form hydrogen bonds with nearby carbonyl oxygen of phospholipid. Additionally, cholesterol is an amphipathic macromolecule because it has a water-soluble polar region that dissolves in water, but almost the entire is non-polar which does not dissolves in…

There are several factors that play an important role in learning a language, one of which is attitude. Attitude is defined as one of the most important factors that impacts in learning a language (Fakeye, 2010). It is also characterized by a large proportion of emotional involvement like feelings, self, and relationships in the community (Brown, 2001). It is said that language teachers, researchers, and students should recognize that positive attitude and high motivation help language learner…

The Raton Basin In this paper the coal system of the Raton Baton basin will be analyzed and broken down into sections that include, structure and stratigraphy, coal quality, igneous intrusions, coal-bed methane, and the hydrocarbon production within the basin. The purpose of analyzing the Raton Basin is to understand coal diagenesis and the aspects of the basin that affect coal quality and production. Information for this paper has been gathered by several reports published by the United…
