Under the assumption that the occurrence percentage of amino acids of 20 proteinogenic is equal (i.e. 5% each). Calculate the molar weight of a protein with 500 amino acids residues.
We know that the average Mol wt of an amino acid is 110Da
So the weight of 500 amino acids is 500*110=55000Da
Under the assumption that the occurrence percentage of amino acids of 20 proteinogenic is equal (i.e....

5. Based only on polarity of the amino acids (i.e., two non-identical amino acids are considered similar if they are both hydrophobic, or polar, or charged), 5. Based only on polarity of the amino acids (i.e., two non-identical A) how would you manually perform the global alignment of the two polypeptide sequences (gaps are allowed): VLLVAKKR ITSVVPKR and ILLVKKKLTTVVLPKK? B) Complete the scoring matrix for the alignment of the above sequences if a match score is 1, mismatch...
There are 20 different tRNA molecules, one for each of the 20 amino acids found in protein. During protein synthesis, the job of a tRNA molecule is to carry its particular amino acid to the growing protein chain and find the correct amino acid position there. It does this by matching a 3- letter anticodon on the tRNA to a complementary 3-letter codon on mRNA. Below, in a diagram of a ERNA molecule, nucleotides are represented by small circles, some...
Question 11. Certain amino acids destabilize or prevent formation of alpha-helices. Which amino acid is more likely to be found in these structures based on its charge and R-group size? A. Glycine B. Proline C. A sequence of several Glutamate D. A sequence of several Lysine E. Alanine Question 12. Which of the following is least likely to result in protein denaturation? A) Altering net charge by changing pH B) Changing the salt concentration C) Disruption of weak interactions by...
A hypothetical protein is associated with certain types of cancers. It consists of 10 amino acids arranged in a straight line, with the distance between each adjacent amino acid equal to 1 micron. The masses of the amino acids range between 10 and 100 AMU. Compute the position of the centre of mass of the protein in the given coordinate system.
