- 1. The use of natural proteins as drugs requires compliance with certain storage and use conditions, which are clearly prescribed in the instructions. So, most protein preparations must be stored in a refrigerator at a temperature not excce- ding 10 °C, and dry preparations should be dissolved in boiled water cooled to room temperature. Some protein preparations are stored in hermetically scaled ampoules, from which air is removed. Why do protein drugs require strict adherence to all the conditions prescribed in the instructions, and what can happen if these conditions are violated?5.

Calculate the isoelectric point of aspartic acid: 0 d. At what pH do you think aspartic acid is least soluble? Explain briefly.1. Consider the three-dimensional model of the tertiary structure of an enzyme below. Amino acids involved in binding are shaded blue, and amino acids involved in catalysis are shaded red. A. Suppose research has shown that amino acid 82 in the red shaded region is lysine, an amino acid with a positively-charged side chain. This lysine is critical for catalysis. Other studies have found that amino acids 12 and 62 in the blue region are both phenylalanine, an amino acid with a nonpolar side chain, and are critical for substrate binding. These amino acids are relatively close in the active site but are separated by 20-70 amino acids in the primary structure. Using what you know about protein structure, explain how amino acids separated in the primary structure can come close together in the active site. B. Use this information and figure 4.2 in your book to answer the following questions: Do you think changing amino acid 82, lysine, an amino acid with a positively-charged side…2.

- 4) Explain the physical implications of the following diagram: ENERGY vum им Intermediate folding states m W Folded protein W CONFIGURATION Figure 1: The Thermodynamics of Protein Unfolding²11. Below is a folding energy funnel describing folding energy landscape of a protein. The width of the funnel indicates the entropy of the protein, and the height corresponds to the free energy. A) If A is the native fold structure, which state is a molten globule? How does this state differ from A in term of structures. B) Does this protein have multiple folding pathways or just one? C) which state has the lowest free energy? D) According to the width of the funnel, the native state B of the protein has the lowest entropy. If the protein fold A spontaneously to this state, does it violate the 2nd law of thermodynamics? Why or why not? (Hint: in the folding funnel, only the entropy of the protein alone is considered). E) Does the native state also have the lowest enthalpy. What makes the enthalpy decrease as the protein folds? 12.
