Step 1
Step 1: Understand MALDI (Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization) - MALDI is a mass spectrometry technique used to analyze biomolecules, including proteins and nucleic acids, by ionizing them and measuring their mass-to-charge ratio. Show more…

5 MCQ: Affinity chromatography is a biochemical method that involves specific interactions of molecules and immobilized ligand This method takes an advantage of: Protein's charge ii. Protein's mass iii. Protein's structure iv. All of the above Purification ofan antigen using specific antibody is an example of: Ion-exchange chromatography ii_ Gel filtration iii, Affinity chromatography iv. Salting out Affinity chromatography involves all following bonds except: Hydrogen bonds Hydrophobic interactions iii, Ionic bonds iv. Covalent bonds Affinity chromatography can purify all following proteins except: Glucose oxidase ii. Insulin iii, IgG iv. BSA The proteolytic cleavage site is often introduced between GST and the protein of interest to: Ensure better separation from the column ji_ Help protein to fold properly iii, Remove the tag after purification iv. Keep the structural integrity of the protein

Proteins called molecular chaperones (described in Chapter 4 ) assist in the process of protein folding. One class of chaperones found in organisms from bacteria to mammals is heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90). All Hsp90 chaperones contain a 10 amino acid "signature sequence" that allows ready identification of these proteins in sequence databases. Two representations of this signature sequence are shown below. (a) In this sequence, which amino acid residues are invariant (conserved across all species)? (b) At which position(s) are amino acids limited to those with positively charged side chains? For each position, which amino acid is more commonly found? (c) At which positions are substitutions restricted to amino acids with negatively charged side chains? For each position, which amino acid predominates? (d) There is one position that can be any amino acid, although one amino acid appears much more often than any other. What position is this, and which amino acid appears most often?
