Pregunta 7
Pregunta
What is meant by the 'Thermodynamic Hypothesis of Protein Folding'
Respuesta
-
That proteins fold into different structures based on the energy available to them in the medium
-
That the information for correct protein folding is found within the sequence itself
-
That the protein will always fold into the lowest possible energy state
Pregunta 8
Pregunta
The Kinetic Hypothysis suggests that there is a specific folding pathway for each protein- protein folding is not random
Pregunta 9
Pregunta
Describe the features of the RNAase Refolding experiment?
Respuesta
-
RNAase is denatured with urea
-
RNAase is denatured with detergent
-
And an oxidising agent to remove the disulphide bridges
-
And a reducing agent to remove the disulphide bridges
-
Once the denaturing agents were removed and it was re-oxdised
-
Once the denaturing agents were removed and it was re-reduced
-
Protein fully reformed itself and worked
Pregunta 10
Pregunta
How do we know the RNAase really was denatured during the experiment?
Respuesta
-
If the protein was allowed to reform before the reducing agents were removed, the sequence showed non native sulphides and didn't work
-
We don't know- we can never really KNOW anything
-
If the protein was allowed to reform before the reducing agents were removed, the sequence didn't work
Pregunta 11
Pregunta
Which of the following are conditions for In Vitro Refolding (Like in the RNAase experiment)?
Respuesta
-
Structure must be amenable to environmental changes
-
Free energy path must be relatively smooth
-
Must contain covalent bonds
-
Must have slow transitions
-
Structure must have unique free energy

-
Peptidyl Lipyl Isomerases
Pregunta 16

Pregunta
What is co-operativity in protein folding?
Respuesta

Where one area of the protein that has already folded provides a nucleation site for another domain to fold
-
The pre-formed proteins will be used as a template to fold more of that species
-

Pregunta 28
Pregunta
What does the Hydrophobic Zipper Model suggest?
Respuesta
