10. A mutation in the DNA that codes for a protein has caused an amino acid with a polar charged side chain to be replaced with one that has a polar uncharged side chain. What effect should this have?
More likely to be hydrophobic
More likely to form an ionic bond
More likely to form hydrogen bonds
More likely to form disulfide bridges
Homework Answers
Hydrophobic bond is formed between two hydrophobic residues. But in the given case polar charged side chain to be replaced with one that has a polar uncharged side chain. So option A is wrong.
Disulfide linkage is formed between two cysteine residues. So option D is also wrong.
An ionic bond is formed between an amino acid which has a positive charge side chain and amino acid which has a negative charge side chain. But in the given case polar charged side chain to be replaced with one that has a polar uncharged side chain. So option B is wrong.
An amino acid which a polar charged group can form a hydrogen bond with amino acid which has a polar side chain. in the given case polar charged side chain to be replaced with one that has a polar uncharged side chain. So the polar amino acid can form H-bond.
hence correct answer is option C. More likely to form hydrogen bonds

Even though hydrophobic amino acids tend to be buried in the interior of a globular protein, polar neutral and polar charged amino acids are found in the interior of a globular protein as well. Recall Figure 4.26 of myoglobin. To see how this can happen, consider a model of a generic globular protein (below). The side chains of only seven of the amino acids are shown. 5.

In most cases, mutations in the core of a protein that replace a
smaller nonpolar side chain in the wild-type (e.g., Ala, Val) with
a larger nonpolar side chain (e.g., Leu, Ile, Phe, Trp) in the
mutant, result in significant destabilization and misfolding of the
mutant. What feature of the protein core explains this observation?
Why would such a mutation prevent a protein from folding
properly?

PDX-1 must bind to DNA in order to function. A particular arrangement of amino acids with polar r-groups determines the sequence of nitrogenous bases the PDX-1 can bind to via hydrogen bonds; however, a separate binding pocket of the protein helps it attach to the DNA backbone. What would you predict the characteristics of those amino acids are? Positively Charged Polar Uncharged Negatively Charged Nonpolar

The gene encoding protein Bog in E. coli has been changed by a point mutation in its open reading frame. Originally the gene encoded a 108 amino acid long functioning protein whose amino acid composition favored nonpolar and negatively charged amino acids. After the mutation it encodes a 110 amino acid long non-functioning protein that is now rich in polar uncharged amino acids and positively charged amino acids. Which mutation scenario best explains this observation. A) A frame-shift caused by...
