c) You place your pentapeptide into a buffer with a pH=4. What direction will your pentapeptide move: Circle the correct answer. (2 marks) It will not move. Towards the positive electrode Towards the negative electrode Briefly Explain why: (2 marks) d) You are trying to separate 2 other peptides from your pentapeptide. Peptide 1 is made up of the amino acids: ARKS Peptide 2 is made up of the amino acids: ADES At what pH would you be able to...
What is the approximate net charge of the following pentapeptide at pH 10? Arg-Gln-Cys-His-Ala What is the Isoelectric point (pI) of the peptide given above? Use the pKa values given here when needed: Side group/ amino acid pKa Asp 3.9 Glu 4.1 HIs 6.0 Cys 8.4 Tyr 10.5 Lys 10.5 Arg 12.5 C-term 3.5 N-term 9.0
Imagine that you have just isolated a peptide hormone with the following primary sequence: MLSCRLQEALAALSKIVLADLGCVTGAPSDPR (Assume the protein is in solution at physiological pH, and remember to include the amino acids at each end of the chain. A charge may come from the R-group, the N-terminus, and/or the C-terminus. If a residue occurs more than once, include each one in your answer.) List the residues (individual amino acids) that contribute a positive charge: List the residues that contribute a...
The isoelectric point (pI) of a peptide is the pH at which the
peptide does not migrate in an electric field. Since the peptide is
zwitterionic, there are the same number of positive charges as
negative charges on the peptide population. The pI can be estimated
fairly accurately (within 0.1 or 0.2 pH units) from the pK values
of all the proton dissociable groups in the peptide. Using pK
values from the table at the right, estimate the pI value...
