Question
Chapter 26.12, Problem 20P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The structure of the PTH derivative isolated in the second Edman cycle of the tetrapeptide
Concept Introduction:
Edman degradation uses phenyl isothiocyanate to cleave the bond between the N-terminal amino acid and the rest of the peptide chain.
Anhydrous conditions ensure that other amide bonds are not cleaved.

Which five statements about hemoglobin and myoglobin structure are true? By itself, heme is not a good oxygen carrier. It must be part of a larger protein to prevent a change in the oxidation state of the iron ion. Hemoglobin is a heterotetramer, whereas myoglobin is a monomer. Molecular oxygen binds reversibly to Fe²+ in heme. Each iron ion can form six coordination bonds. Two of these bonds are formed between iron and oxygen. Both hemoglobin and myoglobin contain a prosthetic group called heme, which contains a central iron ion. Heme is composed of an organic protoporphyrin component and a metal ion. Each hemoglobin or myoglobin molecule can bind four oxygen molecules.arrow_forwardIf the pH of a solution of Arginine is equal to a half of the 3 pka values of all of its functional groups, what will be the charge on the majority of the Arg molecules in that solution?

Choose one: ADP hydrolysis is critical to completion of the protein-folding cycle. Both Hsp70 and GroEL-GroES are considered chamber-type chaperones. Proteins are typically released from both complexes in a partially folded form and the folding cycle may need to be repeated multiple times. Exposed hydrophilic patches on the surface of unfolded proteins initiate recognition with chaperones.arrow_forward
