48. Aquaporins are located within the lipid bilayer of a cell's piasma membrane, which act as a channel for water to enter and exit a cell, while albumin is a protein that circulates freely in human plasma. How would the tertiary structure of these two proteins mostly likely compare based on their physiological locations? A. Albumin has a more nonpolar core with a nonpolar outer layer, while aquaporins have a more polar core with a polar outer layer B. Albumin has a more nonpolar core with a polar outer layer, while aquaporins have a more polar core with a nonpolar outer layer C. Albumin has a more polar core with a nonpolar outer layer, while aquaporins have a more nonpolar core with a polar outer layer D. Albumin has a more polar core with a nonpolar outer layer, while aquaporins have a more nonpolar core with a polar outer layer

It is observed that as temperature is increased, most protein molecules gofrom their defined, folded state into a random-coil, denatured state thatexposes more hydrophobic surface area than is exposed in the folded state.(a) Given what you have learned so far about ΔH and ΔS, explain why thisis reasonable.

In addition, about 25% of the lipids are fluorescently labeled on the head groups. a) Draw a single plot of Fluidity vs. Temperature that contains the expected curves for: Control phospholipid (line- -) Control supplemented with 18-C saturated phospholipids (dashed line - Control supplemented with 16-C chain length (dotted line • • • • • • ) b) Draw a single plot of the Fluorescence Intensity vs. Time that contains the expected curves of a Fluorescence Recovery After Photobleaching (FRAP) using the same samples as in (a) above. The FRAP experiment is conducted at the same temperature for each sample (which is the Tm of the of the control phospholipid).

Which of the following (could be more than one) would not be a rational explanation for why the three-dimensional structure of a protein is driven and stabilized largely by noncovalent rather than covalent bonds?a) Proteins may be degraded for energy, and if their three-dimensional structures were heldtogether by mostly covalent bonding, this might be too difficult to accomplishb) Proteins will need to be unfolded to cross biological membrane, and if their three-dimensionalstructures were held together by mostly covalent bonding, this might be too difficult toaccomplish.c) Protein function (transport, enzyme catalysis, etc...) may require flexibility in the three-dimensional structure to allow for conformational change, and if protein three-dimensionalstructure were held together by mostly covalent bonding, this might be too difficult toaccomplish.d) All of the answer choices are rational explanations for why the three-dimensional structure of protein is driven and stabilized largely…
