Workshop 1 – Biochemistry (Chem 160) 1. Draw the following peptide at pH = 7 and make sure to include the overall charge, label the N- and C-terminus, the peptide bond and the -carbon. AVDKY Give the overall charge of the peptide at pH = 3 and 12. 2. Draw a titration curve for Arg, make sure to label the different points. Determine the pI for Arg. 3. Nonpolar solute + water = solution a. What is the S of the universe, system and surroundings? The S of the universe would decrease this is why it is not spontaneous, the S of the system would increase but to a lesser extent to which the S of the surrounding would decrease S universe = S system + S surroundings 4. What is the hydrophobic effect and explain why it is thermodynamically favorable. The hydrophobic effect is when hydrophobic molecules tend to clump together burying them and placing hydrophilic molecules on the outside. The reason this is thermodynamically favorable is because it frees caged water molecules when burying clumping the hydrophobic molecules together. 5. Urea dissolves very readily in water, but the solution becomes very cold as the urea dissolves. How is this possible? Urea dissolves in water because when dissolving there is a net increase in entropy of the universe. The heat exchange, getting colder only reflects the enthalpy (H) component of the total energy change. The entropy change is high enough to offset the enthalpy component and to add up to an overall -G 6. A mutation that changes an alanine residue in the interior of a protein to valine is found to lead to a loss of activity.

Amino Acid Recognition by Aminoacyl-Trna Synthetases
www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN The structural basis of the genetic code: amino acid recognition by aminoacyl‑tRNA synthetases Florian Kaiser1,2,4*, Sarah Krautwurst3,4, Sebastian Salentin1, V. Joachim Haupt1,2, Christoph Leberecht3, Sebastian Bittrich3, Dirk Labudde3 & Michael Schroeder1 Storage and directed transfer of information is the key requirement for the development of life. Yet any information stored on our genes is useless without its correct interpretation. The genetic code defnes the rule set to decode this information. Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases are at the heart of this process. We extensively characterize how these enzymes distinguish all natural amino acids based on the computational analysis of crystallographic structure data. The results of this meta-analysis show that the correct read-out of genetic information is a delicate interplay between the composition of the binding site, non-covalent interactions, error correction mechanisms, and steric efects. One of the most profound open questions in biology is how the genetic code was established. While proteins are encoded by nucleic acid blueprints, decoding this information in turn requires proteins. Te emergence of this self-referencing system poses a chicken-or-egg dilemma and its origin is still heavily debated 1,2. Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (aaRSs) implement the correct assignment of amino acids to their codons and are thus inherently connected to the emergence of genetic coding. Tese enzymes link tRNA molecules with their amino acid cargo and are consequently vital for protein biosynthesis. Beside the correct recognition of tRNA features3, highly specifc non-covalent interactions in the binding sites of aaRSs are required to correctly detect the designated amino acid4–7 and to prevent errors in biosynthesis5,8.

Solutions to 7.012 Problem Set 1
MIT Biology Department 7.012: Introductory Biology - Fall 2004 Instructors: Professor Eric Lander, Professor Robert A. Weinberg, Dr. Claudette Gardel Solutions to 7.012 Problem Set 1 Question 1 Bob, a student taking 7.012, looks at a long-standing puddle outside his dorm window. Curious as to what was growing in the cloudy water, he takes a sample to his TA, Brad Student. He wanted to know whether the organisms in the sample were prokaryotic or eukaryotic. a) Give an example of a prokaryotic and a eukaryotic organism. Prokaryotic: Eukaryotic: All bacteria Yeast, fungi, any animial or plant b) Using a light microscope, how could he tell the difference between a prokaryotic organism and a eukaryotic one? The resolution of the light microscope would allow you to see if the cell had a true nucleus or organelles. A cell with a true nucleus and organelles would be eukaryotic. You could also determine size, but that may not be sufficient to establish whether a cell is prokaryotic or eukaryotic. c) What additional differences exist between prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms? Any answer from above also fine here. In addition, prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms differ at the DNA level. Eukaryotes have more complex genomes than prokaryotes do. Question 2 A new startup company hires you to help with their product development. Your task is to find a protein that interacts with a polysaccharide. a) You find a large protein that has a single binding site for the polysaccharide cellulose. Which amino acids might you expect to find in the binding pocket of the protein? What is the strongest type of interaction possible between these amino acids and the cellulose? Cellulose is a polymer of glucose and as such has many free hydroxyl groups.

This article is published with open access Abstract Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a serious mental illness, characterized by high morbidity, which has increased in recent decades. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying MDD remain unclear. Previous studies have identified altered metabolic profiles in peripheral tissues associated with MDD. Using curated metabolic characterization data from a large sample of MDD patients, we meta-analyzed the results of metabolites in peripheral blood. Pathway and network analyses were then performed to elucidate the biological themes within these altered metabolites. We identified 23 differentially 1234567890();,: 1234567890();,: expressed metabolites between MDD patients and controls from 46 studies. MDD patients were characterized by higher levels of asymmetric dimethylarginine, tyramine, 2-hydroxybutyric acid, phosphatidylcholine (32:1), and taurochenode- soxycholic acid and lower levels of L-acetylcarnitine, creatinine, L-asparagine, L-glutamine, linoleic acid, pyruvic acid, palmitoleic acid, L-serine, oleic acid, myo-inositol, dodecanoic acid, L-methionine, hypoxanthine, palmitic acid, L-tryptophan, kynurenic acid, taurine, and 25-hydroxyvitamin D compared with controls.

Amino Acid Requirements of the Free-Living Nematode Caenorhabditis Briggsae
AMINO ACID REQUIREMENTS OF THE FREE-LIVING NEMATODE CAENORHABDITIS BRIGGSAE BY J. R. VANFLETEREN Instituut voor Dierkunde, Laboratoria voor Morfologie en Systematiek, RijksuniversiteitGent, Belgium Washed yeast ribosomes promote growth and reproduction of C. briggsae, even when supple- mented to the basal medium at dosages too low to provide the organisms with sufficient amounts of essential amino acids. Hence, a re-investigation of the amino acid requirements of C. briggsae by single and multiple omission of amino acids from the basal medium revealed unambiguously that arginine, histidine, lysine, tryptophan, phenylalanine, methionine, threonine, leucine, isoleucine and valine are not synthetized at levels to permit reproduction; they are called essential amino acids. The requirement for arginine and isoleucinehowever appears to be less clear-cut. On the contrary, evidence is presented that alanine, asparagine, cysteine, glutamate, glutamine, glycine, proline, serine and tryosine can be synthetized at adequate levels; they are called non- essential amino acids. In addition it was shown that multiple omission of the non-essential amino acids is not deleterious. This is believed to be an important step towards the development of a minimum essential medium (MEM) for growth and reproduction of C. briggsae. Sustained growth of the free-living nematode Caenorhabditis brigg.rae can be obtained on a chemically defined medium, supplemented with adequate levels of a proteinaceous growth factor. The most satisfactory, chemically defined medium hitherto reported (Buecher, Hansen & Yarwood, 1966), has been called C. brigg.iae Maintenance Medium (CbMM) and is now commercially available. CbMM is an extremely rich medium, being composed of 53 components, all present at high concentrations.

The Cardioprotective Effects of the New Crystal Form of Puerarin in Isoproterenol-Induced Myocardial Ischemia Rats Based on Meta
www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN The cardioprotective efects of the new crystal form of puerarin in isoproterenol‑induced myocardial ischemia rats based on metabolomics Yuzhi Zhou1,2,3, Mengru Li3, Jia Song3, Yongqiang Shi2, Xuemei Qin3, Zhaolin Gao2, Yang Lv1 & Guanhua Du1* Puerarin has shown unique pharmacological efects on myocardial ischemia (MI). Changing the crystal form is an efective approach to improve the cardioprotective efects of puerarin. However, the mechanisms of the new crystal form of puerarin are unclear. In this study, an electrocardiogram, echocardiography, cardiac marker enzymatic activity, oxidative stress indices, and myocardial histology analysis of cardiac tissues were performed to evaluate the cardioprotective efects of the new crystal form of puerarin. Moreover, serum and cardiac tissue metabolomics based on nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) were used to investigate the potential mechanism of the new crystal form. The results indicated that the new crystal form of puerarin (30 mg/kg) could improve oxidative stress indices, and these improvements were similar to those of the original crystal form of puerarin (120 mg/ kg). The new crystal form of puerarin (30 mg/kg) could efectively improve the activities of cardiac marker enzymes, and the improvement efects were better than those of the original crystal form (120 mg/kg). Moreover, metabolomics analysis showed that amino acid metabolism, oxidative stress and energy metabolism were disturbed after MI and could be improved by puerarin. These results demonstrated
