Table 2. Phi φ angle & Psi ψ angle for Peptide I

As observed from Figure 3, calculation of backbone torsion angle of residues (Coloured orange) was done via the measurement function of PyMOL and recorded in the table seen above. As illustrated in Figure 1, Peptide 1 is observed to have an anti-parallel β – Sheets based on the visualized secondary structure whereby strands are seen to be moving in opposite directions. Furthermore, Table 1 gives further information to shows that when residues from
1 of the β – Sheet increases in residue number, the other β – Sheet

    The identification of the melting point of the organic acid was done to find another characteristic of the acid and to test the purity of the recrystallized pure acid. A 2-4 mm layer of unknown sample was placed into a capillary tube sealed on one end. Then the capillary tube was inserted into the side a Bibby Sterlin device. The plateau was set to 200°C on the melting point apparatus. Once the plateau temperature was reached, the sample was watched carefully. When the sample first began to melt and when it was fully melted was recorded. These numbers were the range of the melting point. A slow melting point of the unknown organic acid and a standard sample was completed next. A new plateau was set about 10°C lower than the observed melting point of the unknown sample. This time once the plateau was reached, the heating was no more than 1°C per minute. This gave a much more accurate read of both melting points. If the standard did not melt in the range listed on the label of the bottle, that meant the machine was not working properly. The standard sample and the unknown organic acid melted in their appropriate ranges.…

    Structure D’s conformation required the greatest energy overall. Structures A and B, structures C and D, and structures E and F are diastereomers of each other. The cis structure of each pair seems to require greater energy for all pairs. The energy differences between structures A and B is about ∆6kj/mol, structures C and D have energy differences of about ∆20kj/mol and structures E and F, ∆15 kj/mol. Structure A, compared to B, had less energy because the R group is in equatorial, the same for structures E, in the among the E and F…

    Enzymes encompass our lives by carrying out various processes that have both negative and positive effects on our bodies, and the aging of our skin is no exception. In BIS 102, Dr. Monfared emphasizes the importance of enzymes and its varied functions that make biological processes achievable. As a result, these biological catalysts allow life to take place by reducing the activation energy needed for chemical processes, such as the breakdown of sugars and proteins. While a majority of the catalyzed reactions are beneficial for our wellbeing, others are disadvantageous especially in older age. As individuals progressively age, enzymes do more than just carry out necessary reactions; they also start to degrade various regions of our body, one…

These experiments really showed me how to differentiate the types of tools we are using and understand the differences and reason for the differences in each.

    Different types of bonds/interactions in proteins lead to different kinds of structures. Three of the most commonly known chemical bonds in proteins include the hydrogen bond, the covalent bond, and the ionic bond. In hydrogen bonds, hydrogen interacts with oxygen, nitrogen, or fluorine to form either the alpha helix, or the beta sheet, which in turn determines its secondary, tertiary, or quaternary structure. Another type of bonds, the covalent bond, links amino acids together by sharing electrons; this bond is critical to proteins in that it determines the amino acid sequence, and the primary structure of the peptide chain. Lastly, the ionic bond, it is a charged R group that determines whether the protein structure would be tertiary, or quaternary.…
