3.A. Briefly discuss the four levels of structure in proteins.Knowing that the 3-dimensional shape of a protein is important to its function, discuss on a qualitative basis whether thechanges below will likely alter the function of a protein, justifying your answer with why or why not.B. What would happen to a protein's functionality if a serine residue were replaced with threonine?C. What would happen if serine were replaced with leucine?D. What would happen if serine were replaced with cysteine?E. What would happen if aspartic acid were replaced with tryptophan in the part of the protein (an enzyme) that serves asan active site to catalyze a reaction?F. What would happen if aspartic acid were replaced with tryptophan in a non-active site?

Hydrophobic amino acids tend to be on surface of protein C. The sidechains of polar amino acids are most commonly found in the central core of a protein D.

a. Suppose that the R group of a histidine residue in a protein in its native tertiary structure is buried in the interior of the protein and is involved in a salt bridge (ionic interaction) with an oppositely charged residue. Unfolding the protein exposes both of the charged groups to water. Would you expect the pKa of the His R group (side chain) in the native protein to be a) higher or b) lower than the pKa of the same residue in the unfolded protein? Why? b.

4) For various amino acid pairs (for example: F to A, E to R, D to N, V to L, S to W), ask yourself: a) Based on what you know about the chemical properties of the side chains, what effect would you expect on the stability of the protein if you mutated one residue of the pair into the other in the interior of the protein?

How would your answer change if the amino acid were located on the surface of the protein? b) c)
11. Below is a folding energy funnel describing folding energy landscape of a protein. The width of the funnel indicates the entropy of the protein, and the height corresponds to the free energy.

C) which state has the lowest free energy? D) According to the width of the funnel, the native state B of the protein has the lowest entropy. If the protein fold A spontaneously to this state, does it violate the 2nd law of thermodynamics? Why or why not? (Hint: in the folding funnel, only the entropy of the protein alone is considered). E) Does the native state also have the lowest enthalpy. What makes the enthalpy decrease as the protein folds? 12.
