An ion-channel is a transmembrane protein that can be in one of two states: OPEN (which allows ions to pass through the membrane) and CLOSED (which does not permit ions to pass through). You have an ion-channel in which the energy of the open state is 600 cal mol-1, the energy of the closed state is 1800 cal mol-1, and the temperature of the system is 300 K. (one cal per mole is equal to 4.18 J per mole, or 6.94×10−24 J per molecule) a) Calculate the partition function for this system. b) What is the probability that the system will be in its open state?

You are working with a protein, which is known to exist in an open (O), partially open (P) and closed conformation (C). The closed state is the functional state of the protein. The energy of the three states are Ec--7 kcal/mol, EP -5 kcal/mol and Eo--4 kcal/mol. a) What is the average energy of this protein at 300 K, assuming constant volume? b) Through mutagenesis experiments you have been trying to identity a version of the protein which stabilizes the...

Pu010 2. You are studying a bacterial protein, Pmp 7, that pumps one potassium (Kt) ion into the cell for each calcium ion (Ca²+) that is moved out of the cell. Pmp 7 uses energy from light to pump these ions across the membrane. Experiment 1: You make an artificial membrane vesicle that has Pmp7 as the only protein on the membrane. Pmp 7 is orientated on this artificial membrane vesicle as it is oriented in a bacterial cell, and...

Electron transport chains (ETCs), large proteins through which electrons move, play important roles in two of nature's fundamental processes: (1) the conversion of electromagnetic energy from the Sun into the energy in the chemical bonds in glucose molecules and (2) the conversion of the energy in these glucose molecules into useful forms for metabolic processes, such as muscle contraction, building proteins, and respiration. Respiratory ETCs are located in the inner membranes of mitochondria, the power plants of eukaryotic cells. ETCs...

Q13 Cyanide is a deadly poison that attaches to cytochrome c oxidase, the last protein in the electron transport chain before the terminal electron acceptor. Based on your knowledge of the electron transport chain, which statement below best describes the action of cyanide on the body? A. Cyanide does not allow the Krebs cycle to be completed by blocking acetyl CoA from entering this cycle. This action shuts down the entire process of cellular metabolism. B. Cyanide does not allow...
