Biochemistry
Why do exterior amino acids of membrane proteins tend to be polar?
Given a protein with alternating polar and nonpolar amino acids, predict its likely structure in the membrane.
How are peripheral proteins typically attached to the membrane?
A protein region with a negative hydropathy index is most likely to be found where?
Analyze the impact of a mutation that replaces a polar exterior amino acid with a nonpolar one in a membrane protein.
What property of tryptophan and tyrosine makes them suitable for the edges of transmembrane proteins?
Assess the impact of disrupting hydrophobic interactions in a membrane protein.
