BIOL 172 Study Guide - Quiz Guide: Tripeptide, Proline, Alanine
Document Summary
Due 10/8/19: the correct folding of proteins is necessary to maintain healthy cells and tissues. Section: presence of unfolded proteins is associated with some neurodegenerative disorders as. Alzheimer"s disease, huntington"s disease, and creutzfeldt jakob disease (the specific faulty protein is different for each disease). They form protein aggregates: (3 pts) the sequences for three different tripeptides are written out below. Indicate whether you expect to find them in the inner core (away from the cytosol) or on the surface of a cytosolic protein, and explain your answer. This peptide is made up of nonpolar amino acids. The side chains are most likely buried in the interior of the protein, which would promote interactions with other hydrophobic side chains and avoid unfavorable interactions with the aqueous environment of the cytosol. This peptide is made up of both polar and nonpolar amino acids, and one of the nonpolar amino acids is proline.
