Some proteins are synthesized as inactive precursors called ______.

Which of the following amino acids combinations have side chains with groups that have the greatest ability to stabilize the tertiary structure of a protein? 

Sheets composed of two layers of amphipathic molecules arranged with the hydrophilic groups on the surface and the hydrophobic groups buried in the center that form in water are called

Match the signal sequence or post-translation modification with the target

You are interested in receptor protein-tyrosine kinases and you are purifying a novel phosphotyrosine-binding protein (NPBP-1).  In order to characterize this protein you need to separate it from three other proteins (X, Y, and Z) that are still present in your partially purified material.  The proteins in your preparation have the following properties:      binds to phosphotyrosine Size (kDa) pI protein X yes 85 7.2 protein Y yes 29 2.9 protein Z no 31 7.4 NPBP-1 yes 28 7.5   A. What type of separation technique can be used to separate protein NPBP-1 from protein X? [1] B. What type of separation technique can be used to separate protein NPBP-1 from protein Y? [2] C. What type of separation technique can be used to separate protein NPBP-1 from protein Z? [3]
