1.

Position of protein in relation to membrane bilayer (red represents periplasmic side while blue represents cytoplasmic layer) (2oau).

Drag the structure with the mouse to rotate

Morph: 2oau to 2vv5.

Drag the structure with the mouse to rotate

{Using the scene to the right showing the structure of E. coli McsS as well as the morph between the open and closed conformation, which side undergoes the most major conformational change.

Cytosolic
Periplasmic
→ Why might the smaller periplasmic side be the site of conformational shifting? What other functions might the cytoplasmic domain serve?

2. Which scene most likely highlights the hydrophobic sections of the protein:

Drag the structure with the mouse to rotate
→ The first scene highlights a number of residues on the inner section of the protein. The location of these residues suggests they are hydrophobic

3.

Name an amino acid likely to be used in binding a metallic cationic cofactor.
→ The negative charge for some, while the electronegative components for others has the potential to bind to positively charged cations.

4. Some common techniques used by proteins to link hydrophobic and hydrophilic regions are

relying on dissolved amphipathic molecules to shield exposed hydrophobic residues from the cytosol.
stacking beta sheets with alternating hydrophobic and hydrophilic residues.
replacing the functional group on amino acid residues with more energetically favorable groups.
varying the order of hydrophobic and hydrophilic residues on an alpha helix so that the two types are segregated to opposite sides of the helix.

5. Which of these has a single domain?
