f. The crystal structure of the Gly344 mutant protein is solved and is determined to be nearly identical to the structure of the wild-type protein. The phi-psi angles of the Gly344 mutant protein are plotted in a new Ramachandran plot (not shown here). The combination of phi-psi angles for Gly344 in this structure will: a. be in an "allowed" region for non-glycine residues of the Ramachandran plot b. be essentially the same as for residue Ala344 in the wild-type protein c. be in the a-helical region of the Ramachandran plot d. be in a "disallowed" region for glycine residues in the Ramachandran plot

Step 1
This means that the phi-psi angles of Gly344 in the mutant protein will be very similar to the phi-psi angles of the corresponding residue in the wild-type protein. Show more…

What distribution do you expect, if you plot the torsion angles of every amino acid in a protein structure in a Ramachandran plot? a. There is no specific distribution. b. The conformation of all residues falls in the most favorable region of the plot. c. The residues will be distributed evenly in the most favorable regions, in the additionally allowed regions and in the disallowed regions. d. All residues fall in the disallowed region of the plot. e. The conformation of most residues fall in the most favorable region, some will be in the additionally allowed region, and there may be a few outliers in the disallowed regions (<0.2 %).

Gly-19 in the structure of the human protein thioredoxin is involved in an abrupt turn in the protein chain. Its Ramachandran angles are (Phi = 65, Psi = 105). Which answer below best describes why glycine can occupy this portion of the Ramachandran plot, whereas alanine typically cannot? The methyl group on alanine (which we will call amino acid n) clashes with ______. the carbonyl oxygen of amino acid n+1 its own carbonyl oxygen the carbonyl oxygen of amino acid n-1 the amide hydrogen of amino acid n+1

12. (2 pts) Examine the two proteins labeled (a) and (b) below. Which of the 2 Ramachandran plots, labeled (c) and (d), is more likely to correspond to protein (a) and which is more likely to correspond to protein (b)? Explain your reasoning for each.
