represents weak-binding state at low P02 and strongbinding state at high P02 ii. Hemes 1. The heme binds O2‚ not the protein 2. Function of protein: provides crevice – keeps heme from oxidizing a. absence of protein: ferrous atom (Fe2+) ferric state (Fe3+) b. heme buried in hydrophilic environment of protein: O2 binding does not result in oxidation 3. Heme structure a. Each polypeptide of protein is made from 8 residues 6 helices – A‚ B‚ C‚ D‚ E‚ F b. Fe2+ has 6 coordinating bonds i. 4 bonds = nitrogens

bacterial infections. They work by either killing the bacteria or by stopping them dividing and growing. Some work by interfering with enzymes that are essential in the replication of genetic material (either DNA or RNA) in the bacterial cells or in protein synthesis. Some work just by blocking the sites where enzymes usually join to the substrate‚ so they can’t join on and catalyse the reaction. The parent DNA molecule unravels itself and becomes 2 individual strands that stand on either end. The two

transmission decreases at a steady rate‚ until it reaches pH 8 where there is a steep increase from 30% to 39% as the enzyme has reached its optimum pH at 8. During the experiment in the boiling tube this pH had the deepest red colour as the most protein gelatine was broken up. This meant that in the colorimeter when testing to see what the light transmission‚ this pH let the least light through. For this enzyme as the pH increases the percentage of light transmission decreases until it gets to pH

Biology 4U Exam Review Intro to Biochemistry Types of bonding: Ionic Results from the attraction between two oppositely charged atoms or molecules. They must lose or gain electrons to become charged. For example‚ a sodium molecule and a chlorine molecule form an ionic bond to create sodium chloride (NaCl) Covalent Results from the sharing of one or more pairs of valence electrons to create a stable molecule. For example‚ the covalent bonding of hydrogen ions creates hydrogen gas (H2)

competitive binding drugs can cause a decrease in the amount of drug bound to protein and increase the biological active fraction of the drug. The aim of this study is to analyze the interactions of Lomefloxacin (LMF) and Colchicine (COL) with human serum albumin (HSA) and to evaluate the mechanism of simultaneous binding of LMF and COL to protein. Fluorescence analysis was used to estimate the effect of drugs on the protein fluorescence and to define the binding and quenching properties of drugsHSA complexes
