A sample of the amino acid tyrosine is barely soluble in water. Would a polypeptide containing only Tyr residues, poly(Tyr), be more or less soluble, assuming the total number of Tyr groups remains constant?
Explain why an enzyme can catalyze a chemical reaction involving just one enantiomer of a compound.
Some hormone-signaling pathways result in the phosphorylation of tyrosine resides in proteins. Draw the structure of a phosphotyrosine side chain.
Identify the amino acids that differ from each other by a single methylor methylene group.
Over time, the glutamine residues of polypeptides are susceptible to deamidation, a reaction in which the amide group is replaced by a carboxylate group. What amino acid is produced when glutamine is deamidated?
