phylogeny -A phylogenetic tree can be constructed that indicates ancestral relationship between different species. 0 mcs5109 Tue, 30 Sep 2008 03:36:44 GMT view revision history
Neutral Drift -random mutations occur which do not affect protein function
-random process is referred to as neutral drift
-Comparison of primary sequence of homologous proteins indicate which proteins are essential for their function
-ex: Pigeon cytochrome c can reduce wheat oxidase

malaria resistance -SCA Mendelian genetics
-Heterozygotes have approx. 40% HbS. Such people have sickle cell trait and can lead normal life.
-heterozygote are resistant to malaria

SCA mutation -Caused my mutant hemoglobin
-sickle cell hemoglobin HbS is two units more positive than HbA (normal).
-Caused by single mutation causing change of Glu (6th aa of B subunits) to Val (charge difference)
-under certain conditions (low O2 levels) HbS distort into sickle shapes
-block small capillaries causing necrosis of the tissue
-Conversion of charged glu to hydrophobic val forms patch that now can bind to hydrophobic portion of another deoxy Hb molecule. Polymerizes into fibers when deoxygenated. Causes rbc to become sickle shape

Sickle Cell anemia -Hemoglobin has 4 subunits: a2b2
-in rbc's
-In Sickle cell anemia, rbc assume crescent-like shape in low oxygen tension. Are more rigid and hinders free passage
Hemolytic anemia caused by lysis of rbc

Determining site of disulfide bond -Separate digested peptide with paper electrophoresis
-Treat samples with performic acid to cleave disulfides
-Run again on paper electrophoresis to which has two spots
-Remove bands and sequence to identify

-1st MS selects protein of interest
-peptide ion then crashes into chemically inert cell (He)
-peptide bonds break and MW of charged fragments measured
-computerized

MALDI-TOF -Matrix-assited laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spec
Peptide is embedded in crystalline matrix of some low molecular weight compound.
Peptide is irradiated with laser pulse which ejects peptides into gas phase

electrospray ionization -macromolecule H2O sol'n sprayed from high voltage
-fine, highly charged droplets remain
-H2O evaporates
-now have gas-phase macromolecule ions
-go through MS
0 mcs5109 Tue, 30 Sep 2008 03:20:16 GMT view revision history
Mass Spec -Can be used to accurately measure molecular weight
-Use a spray of protein, remove water and then have proteins
-3 techniques to get gas-phase ions required for MS:
-electrospray ionization
-MALDI
-tandem

Carboxypeptidase -exopeptidase that cleaves from C terminus
-Different enzymes have different specificities
Because of differences in specificities, cannot be used for sequencing.
-if 2nd aa cleaved same time as 1st, both aas releases simultaneously
-Carboxypeptidase also not active on Pro residues
