25
what are the chaperone proteins?
``` molecular chaperones (Hsp70) chaperonins (GroEL-GroES) ```
26
describe the function of Hsp70
molecular chaperone, prevents denaturation during fever by binding to exposed hydrophobic residues and preventing aggregation, use ATP
27
describe the function of GroEL-GroES
chaperonin, forms hydrophilic folding chamber that sequesters unfolded proteins and allows them to fold properly, uses ATP
28
describe collagen structure
Gly-Pro-X motif, proline can be hydroxylated allowing for the formation of cross-bridges and increased stability. normal collagen = two a-1 and one a-2
29
describe OI (severe and mild mutation)
autosomal dominant severe- missense mut for glycine, results in normal amount of abnormal collagen (not able to fold properly) mild- loss of 1 a-1 allele, leads to small quantities of normal collagen
30
describe survy
results from ascorbic acid def -- ascorbic acid is a cofactor for proline hydroxylation, in the absence of ascorbic acid, cross linkages cannot form and collagen in weaker
31
describe protein-ligand specificity
shape of the binding site is compatible to the ligand to allow for multiple covalent interactions (hand in glove vs. induced fit)
32
what is the typical purpose of farnesylation/myristylation?
addition of fatty acid to anchor protein to a membrane
33
3 types of chromatography
size- smaller molecules go through pores in beads, larger molecules move through faster ion exchange- (+) proteins bind (-) beads and uncharged or (-) proteins move through after, (+) removed with salt affinity
34
what is a "cation exchange column"?
lined with (-) charges
35
describe western blot
used to eval proteins (1-2) uses antibody probe
36
describe SDS-PAGE
proteins denatured/linearized by SDS SDS gives surface negative charge will separate based on molecular wt smaller particles will move faster/farther
37
describe 2D gel electrophoresis
separation based on size and charge | can be useful for assessing level of phosphorylation, can be used for larger protein volume (100s)
38
describe mass spectrometry
can be used for 1000s, provides info for identification
39
why is the active site of an enzyme usually located in a cavity?
to restrict access of water to area-- water can disrupt ligand binding
40
what are the ways in which enzymes decrease activation energy? (3)
- orient molecules favorably - separate charge to favor a reaction - strain a substance toward transition state
41
what is the role of His in hemoglobin?
binds to iron and prevents it from oxidizing
42
what happens if iron in heme oxidizes?
methmegolbinemia
43
what is the hill coefficient?
measure of cooperativity
44
what are the 2 states of hemoglobin?
R state- high O2 affinity | T- state- low O2 affinity
45
how is hemoglobin transitioned from T to R?
when 1st O2 binds, iron will move into plane and pull His with it, when His moves it causes a conformation change that leads to the subunit in the ab pair moving, this enhances hemoglobin's ability to bind O2
46
what is BPG?
intermediate of glycolysis | binds to T state and stabilizes it
47
what is the Bohr effect?
increased H+ = increased CO2, when CO2 is increased, hemoglobin will have decreased affinity for O2 and it will be released into tissues (T state His 146 is Hbonded to Asp94)
48
oxygen dissociation curve
right shit- decreased affinity for O2 = more released into tissues = T state left shift- increased affinity for )2 = less released into tissues = R state
49
what conditions favor R-state?
hold onto O2: High O2 decreased CO2 decreased BPG
50
what conditions favor T-state?
release O2: low O2 high CO2 high BPG
51
what would hemoglobin want to give up O2 if BPG is high?
BPG is an intermediate of glycolysis, thus if increased glycolysis is occurring, this is an indication that tissues need O2, so BPG stabilizes hemoglobin T state so that it can release O2 into tissues for OXPHOS
52
what is the effect of fetal hgb on the curve?
fetal hemoglobin has a higher affinity for O2, causes a left shift
53
what is the basis for base pairing?
chargaff's rules AT, CG
54
SLE
autoantibodies to DNA, leads to inflammation, tissue injury, organ dysfunction
55
what is RNA more easily degraded that DNA
presence of 2'OH leaves RNA more susceptible to hydrolysis
56
most abundant type of RNA
rRNA (80%)
57
what is the usual "form" for monosaccharides? what can alter it?
usually D form, with OH on the right | can be altered with epimerases
58
what type of polysaccharide cannot be digested by humans?
cellulose b(1,4)
59
what are GAGs?
sugars with repeating units of disaccharides
60
what aa form O-linked sugars?
serine, threonine
61
what aa forms N-linked sugars?
asparagine
62
what is the double bond configuration for almost all biologic systems?
cis
63
what FA are prominent on the outer leaflet? inner?
outer- phos-choline, sphingomyelin, glycolipids | inner- phos-serine, phos- linositol
64
what are flippases? floppases?
flippases- enzymes that move phos-serine from outer to inner against gradient floppases- move phos-choline and sphingolipids from inner to outer against gradient
65
where are the membrane components synthesized?
phospholipids- ER glycolipids- ER, golgi cholesterol- in membranes of ER
66
what will decrease membrane fluidity?
increased cholesterol, increased length of FA tails, lipid rafts
67
what will increase membrane fluidity?
increased polyunsaturated fats
68
what causes sickle cell anemia?
AR, glu-val at 6th position of b subunit of hgb
69
when does sickling occur?
any situation that decreased O2, will lead to polymerization of hgb via hydrophobic interactions
70
what tests are done for sickle cell?
NBS- cation exchange column chromatography, isoelectric focusing
71
what is the main source of pain in SCA?
vaso-occlusion in post-capillary venules
72
#1 cause of death in pts with SCA
acute chest syndrome
73
what reduces the risk of CVA?
transfusion
74
how does hydroxyurea treat SCA?
increases fetal hgb levels
