Chapter 7: Q11P (page 219)

Is myosin a fibrous protein or a globular protein? Explain.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Myosin is both a fibrous and a globular protein.

Step by step solution

01

Myosin structure

The myosin protein molecule has three main domains: the head domain, the neck domain, and the tail domain.

02

Globular subunit of myosin

The head domain is responsible for myosin鈥檚 motor activities, whereas the neck domain binds with the light chains. The head domain and the neck domain together makes up the globular subunit of myosin

03

Fibrous subunit of myosin

The tail domain is hydrophobic. This tail domain of one myosin joins with the tail domains of other myosins to form the thick filament in the sarcomere. Thus, the tail domain is the fibrous subunit of myosin.

If myoglobin had the same p50 value as hemoglobin, how well would it facilitate O2 diffusion under the conditions described in Problem 21?

What is the likely range of the Hill constant for the hemoglobin described in Problem 23?

Explain why mutations can increase or decrease the oxygen affinity and cooperativity of hemoglobin. How can the body compensate for those changes?

In hemoglobin Rainier, Tyr 145尾 is replaced by Cys, which forms a disulfide bond with another Cys residue in the same subunit. This prevents the formation of ion pairs that normally stabilize the T state. How does hemoglobin Rainier differ from normal hemoglobin with respect to (a) oxygen affinity, (b) the Bohr effect, and (c) the Hill constant?

How many hypervariable loops are present in (a) IgG and (b) IgM?
