Instructions for Side by Side Printing
  1. Print the notecards
  2. Fold each page in half along the solid vertical line
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal dotted line
  4. Optional: Glue, tape or staple the ends of each notecard together
  1. Verify Front of pages is selected for Viewing and print the front of the notecards
  2. Select Back of pages for Viewing and print the back of the notecards
    NOTE: Since the back of the pages are printed in reverse order (last page is printed first), keep the pages in the same order as they were after Step 1. Also, be sure to feed the pages in the same direction as you did in Step 1.
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal and vertical dotted line

Bchem 3100

front 1

Native Conformation (Protein)

back 1

The folded shape of the protein that is both stable and functional

front 2

Refolding insulin

back 2

Is 25% but increases to 75% if renatured if chemically cross linked that mimics C chain

front 3

Hydrophobic core as a determinant of protein folding

back 3

non-polar amino acids want to remain in the hydrophobic core of protein.

front 4

Helices and sheets as a determinant of protein folding

back 4

Fill space and are hierarchically organized ( folds in a particular order)

front 5

Surrounding amino acid sequences as a determinant of protein folding

back 5

Insertion of amino acids that should produce a specific 2D structure will not as the other 2D structures effect what that part of the sequence should be

front 6

X-ray Crystallography

back 6

-need 97% purity

-Optimize conditions

-Can't do flexible proteins

front 7

NMR

back 7

- Limit of 35KDa

-Can do flexible proteins

-need concentrated proteins

-2D can analyze proximity of specific amino acids

front 8

Cyro-Electron Microscopy

back 8

-View in native enviroment

- Can't do small over 80KDa

-liquid N temp

front 9

Anfinsen's Experiment

back 9

unfolded proteins can return the their native states

front 10

Hydrophobic collapse

back 10

Biggest driving force of protein folding

front 11

Levinthal Paradox

back 11

That proteins fold completely randomly through possible confirmations

front 12

Stopped Flow Instrument

back 12

Mixes the denatured proteins with the buffer rapidly to kickstart refolding

front 13

NMR- Pulsed H/D exchange

back 13

Follow as H in protein are exchanged for D in the solvent. Allows for the formation of secondary structure to be viewed

front 14

1/3 in protein folding pathway

back 14

Hydrophobic collapse

-rapid but side chains are still in disarray

front 15

2/3 in protein folding pathway

back 15

Tertiary structure formation

- subdomains folded but not docked together yet, side chains still mobile.

front 16

3/3 in protein folding pathway

back 16

Final folding

-side chain forms final conformation, remaining water is expelled

front 17

Landscape Theory

back 17

polypeptides fold through various conformational adjustments that reduce free energy state until reaching their native state. (Funnel)

front 18

Paper Chromatography

back 18

stationary is cellulose based paper and the mobile phase is a solvent more or less polar, Molecules seperated based on polarity

front 19

Thin Layered

back 19

silica gel on glass or plastic plate with a mobile phase of a more or less polar solvent.

front 20

Hydrophobic Interactions

back 20

Stationary phase is hydrophillic lightly substitued with hydrophobic groups which during the mobile phase will attract the protein. Will be eluted by salt gradient

front 21

Reverse Phase

back 21

The stationary phase is a non polar liquid subbed with n-alkyl chains the mobile phase is a polar solvent. Seperation is by hydrophobic forces by solute and ligands

front 22

Dialysis

back 22

Rebuff of the protein. With a semipermable memberane allow for the excess solvent and protein to reach equilimbrium

front 23

Ultrafiltration

back 23

Used to rebuff protein sample or to concentrate the sample.

Loose leaf tea basket cup but spin it and toss the tea (buffer)

front 24

Ultracentrigution

back 24

seperate heavy particles by spinnn

front 25

Zonal Centrigfution

back 25

Sep according to sedimentry coeffecient and fraction out the results

front 26

Equilimbrium density centrigfution

back 26

Separation by the density of the particles from a uniform solution, form bands in their isopycnic positions

front 27

Western Blotting

back 27

  1. Gel electrophoresis and blot onto nitrocellulose
  2. Block unoccupied spots
  3. Incubate in antibody for protein of interest
  4. Wash and incubate with a labeling antibody
  5. Assay for coluorimetri
