The polypeptide chain of the chaperone protein GroEL from Escherichia colihas a molecular mass of 57200 Da and does not contain tryptophan or cystines. The A280of a 1 mg/mL solution of the purified protein in a 1 cm pathlength cuvette is 0.160. calculate the number of Tyr in the polypeptide chain.
Protein Concentration in mg/ml = A280*Dilution Factor*molecular weight/Extinction coefficient
1= 0.160*57200/Extinction coefficient
Extinction coefficient= 9152
for one residue of tyrosine the Extinction coefficient is 1280 so if the value is 9152 so the number of residue will be
= 9152/1280= 7.15 residues

Human myoglobin is a protein with a molar extinction coefficient at 280nm of 1.40 x 104 M-1cm-1 . 100.0 uL of the stock solution of myoglobin (the tube was marked as 0.050 mg/mL) was mixed with 0.900 mL of buffer, giving an absorbance at 280nm of 0.810 (cuvette is 1.00 cm pathlength). From this information, what is the molecular weight of human myoglobin? Do you think this is a reasonable value? Explain WHY or WHY NOT?

3) (30 pts) The small protein lysozyme is an important first line of defense against bacterial infection. It has 129 amino acids and contains both tyrosine and tryptophan. The absorbance of a 1 mg/ml sample of lysozyme was measured in a cuvette of thickness 1.00 cm and was found to be 3.19 at 240 nm and 2.58 at 280 nm. The molar absorption coefficients of tryptophan and tyrosine at 240 nm are 2.00 x 103 dm3 mol-1 cm-1 and 1.12...
Hemoglobin consists of four globular proteins, each formed from a polypeptide chain. Each globular protein contains a nonprotein group with an iron ion. This iron ion binds to an oxygen molecule. Thus, every hemoglobin protein can bind four oxygen molecules. Select the correct statement about oxygen transport below. a. Myoglobin transports oxygen through the bloodstream to tissue. b. To carry oxygen, iron must be in its nonheme form. c. Erythrocytes contain abundant myoglobin for transporting oxygen. d. Hemoglobin is found...
