The two copper ions move together upon binding oxygen, and this motion could promote cooperativity.

Arthropods such as lobsters have oxygen carriers quite different from hemoglobin. The oxygen‑binding sites do not contain heme but, instead, are based on two copper (Cu) ions. The structural changes that accompany oxygen binding are shown in the reaction diagram. How might these changes be used to facilitate cooperative oxygen binding? The oxygen‑binding site does not structurally change but could promote cooperativity by rotating with respect to other oxygen‑binding sites. The imidazole groups move apart upon binding oxygen, and this motion could promote cooperativity. The two copper ions move together upon binding oxygen, and this motion could promote cooperativity. A hydrogen bond forms between the oxygen molecule and an imidazole group, which could promote cooperativity.

Classify the monosaccharides.

Aggrecan is heavily decorated with glycosaminoglycans, and the release of these glycosaminoglycans is a sign of aggrecan degradation. Another enzyme might be present that cleaves glycosaminoglycans from aggrecan without degrading aggrecan.

A contributing factor to the development of arthritis is the inappropriate proteolytic destruction of the aggrecan component of cartilage by the proteolytic enzyme aggrecanase. The immune system signal molecule interleukin 2 (IL‑2) activates aggrecanase; in fact, IL‑2 blockers are sometimes used to treat arthritis. Studies were undertaken to determine whether inhibitors of aggrecanase could counteract the effects of IL‑2. Pieces of cartilage were incubated in media with various additions and the amount of aggrecan destruction was measured as a function of time. Aggrecan degradation was measured by the release of glycosaminoglycan. What is the rationale for this assay? Aggrecan is a lectin that binds glycosaminoglycan ligands, and aggrecan releases these glycosaminoglycans as it is degraded. Aggrecan is heavily decorated with glycosaminoglycans, and the release of these glycosaminoglycans is a sign of aggrecan degradation. Aggrecan inhibits the removal of glycosaminoglycans from proteoglycans, and aggrecan degradation allows this removal to proceed. Aggrecan is a transferase enzyme that adds glycosaminoglycans to glycoproteins, and these glycosaminoglycans remain free if aggrecan is degraded. Why might glycosaminoglycan release not indicate aggrecan degradation? Glycosaminoglycans are hydrogen bonded to aggrecan and may dissociate from aggrecan at high temperatures. Aggrecanase may degrade the glycosaminoglycans of aggrecan without degrading the protein component. Glycosaminoglycan release also occurs with the degradation of glycogen in animal tissues. Another enzyme might be present that cleaves glycosaminoglycans from aggrecan without degrading aggrecan.

Aggrecan degradation is greatly enhanced. Aggrecan degradation is reduced to the background system level.

Aggrecan degradation is greatly enhanced. Aggrecan degradation is greatly reduced. Aggrecanase activity is greatly reduced. Aggrecan degradation remains the same. What is the response when an aggrecanase inhibitor is added in addition to IL‑2? Aggrecan degradation remains the same as when IL‑2 was added. Aggrecan degradation completely stops. Aggrecan degradation is further enhanced. Aggrecan degradation is reduced to the background system level.

The immune system signal molecule interleukin 2 (IL‑2) activates aggrecanase; in fact, IL‑2 blockers are sometimes used to treat arthritis. Studies were undertaken to determine whether inhibitors of aggrecanase could counteract the effects of IL‑2. Pieces of cartilage were incubated in media with various additions and the amount of aggrecan destruction was measured as a function of time. What is the purpose of the control (cartilage incubated with no additions)? The control provides the maximum level of aggrecan degradation that the assay can detect. The control provides a baseline of "background" aggrecan degradation inherent in the assay. The control provides the level of aggrecan degradation that occurs when aggrecanase is inhibited. The control provides the level of aggrecan degradation that occurs in vivo. Why is there some aggrecan destruction in the control with the passage of time? Cartilage produces small amounts of IL‑2 on its own, which activates aggrecanase. Aggrecan is a glycoprotein, and glycoproteins are inherently unstable with a short half‑life. Some of the factors contributing to cartilage stabilization in vivo may not be present. Aggrecan destruction would only occur in the control if there was an experimental error.

HbF HbA, lowers HbA‑bound O2 will tend to move to HbF because HbF has a lower affinity for BPG, an allosteric inhibitor of O2 binding.

Studies of oxygen transport in pregnant mammals show that the O2‑saturation curves of fetal (HbF) and maternal (HbA) hemoglobin are markedly different when measured under the same conditions. Which hemoglobin has a higher affinity for O2 at the tissue pO2 of around 4 kPa? cannot be determined from this data HbF HbA The allosteric inhibitory effector BPG binds to both the A form and the F form. Both forms show a lower affinity for O2 in the presence of BPG. However, the inhibitory effect of BPG is larger for HbA. The different O2 affinity indicated by the curves has been attributed to different BPG affinity for the two Hb forms. Complete the statement. BPG binds tighter to ________, which _______ its affinity for O2 . Which statement that best explains the role of BPG in O2 transport from mother to fetus? HbA‑bound O2 will tend to move to HbF because HbF has a lower affinity for BPG, an allosteric inhibitor of O2 binding. HbA‑bound O2 will tend to move to HbF because HbA binds an additional BPG per tetramer when it enters placental circulation. HbF will extract O2 from oxygenated HbA because BPG enhances O2 binding to HbF. In the placental circulation, HbF will load up on O2 as BPG dissociates from HbA and binds to HbF.

No, because Zn2+ cannot partially transfer an electron to oxygen to form a complex.

Suppose myoglobin is prepared with Zn2+ in the place of Fe2+ in the porphyrin. Would you expect this modified myoglobin to bind oxygen?

leucine alanine leucine phenylalanine No aggregation - O2 decreases due to vigorous exercise or high altitude - R state Hb shifts to T state Hb - Val interacts with the pocket of B chain on another HbS - Additional T state HbS interact with the growing aggerate to form an insoluble fiber sickled red blood cell

The mutated form of hemoglobin (hemoglobin S, or HbS) in sickle‑cell anemia results from the replacement of a glutamate residue by a valine residue at position 6 in the β chain of the protein. Normal hemoglobin is designated HbA. Under conditions of low [O2] , HbS aggregates and distorts the red blood cell into a sickle shape. See image of eight aggregated HbS molecules. Sickled red blood cells are relatively inflexible and may clog capillary beds, causing pain and tissue damage. The sickled red blood cells also have a shorter life span, leading to anemia. Which amino acids would be expected to produce a similar sickling effect if substituted for Val at position 6? leucine phenylalanine lysine alanine arginine Sickling occurs in deoxyhemoglobin S but not in oxyhemoglobin S. Oxyhemoglobin has a small, hydrophobic pocket in a β chain region located in the interior of the protein. In deoxyhemoglobin, however, this pocket is located on the surface of the protein. In deoxyhemoglobin S, Val 6 interacts with this surface pocket, leading to aggregation of HbS. Choose two amino acids that would be reasonable candidates for the pocket-Val 6 interaction. leucine glutamate lysine phenylalanine asparagine How does HbS aggregation occur in sickle‑cell anemia? Place the steps in the correct order. Note that deoxyhemoglobin is in the T state; oxyhemoglobin is in the R state.

Hydrophobic residues on the surface of hemoglobin subunits interact with similar regions on the other subunits through van der Waals interactions.

The α and β subunits of hemoglobin bear a remarkable structural similarity to myoglobin. However, certain residues that are hydrophilic in myoglobin are hydrophobic in the subunits of hemoglobin. Why might this be the case? Hemoglobin forms long, extended structures that feature repeated sequences, whereas myoglobin forms globular structures. Hydrophilic residues on the surface of myoglobin form ionic interactions with similar regions on other myoglobin molecules. Hydrophobic residues on the surface of hemoglobin subunits interact with similar regions on the other subunits through van der Waals interactions. Myoglobin is a water‑soluble protein, whereas hemoglobin is found in the hydrophobic environment of membranes.

DNA has a double‑stranded structure that ensures an accurate mechanism of duplication. DNA is more resistant against enzymes that degrade nucleic acids.

There are two types of nucleic acids, DNA and RNA. Nearly all organisms use DNA, not RNA, as the central repository for genetic information. Choose the statements that explain this phenomenon. DNA has a double‑stranded structure that ensures an accurate mechanism of duplication. DNA contains a hydroxyl group at the 2′ carbon. DNA is flexible and forms complex catalytic structures. DNA contains adenine as one of its nitrogenous bases. DNA is more resistant against enzymes that degrade nucleic acids.

Both hemoglobin and myoglobin contain a prosthetic group called heme, which contains a central iron atom. By itself, heme is not a good oxygen carrier. It must be part of a larger protein to prevent oxidation of the iron atom. Each hemoglobin molecule can bind four oxygen molecules; each myoglobin can bind only one oxygen molecule. Heme is composed of an organic protoporphyrin component and a metal atom. Each iron atom can form six coordination bonds. One of these bonds is formed between iron and oxygen.
