Chapter 6: Q13P (page 177)

Question: Classify the following proteins as 伪, 尾, or 伪/尾:
(a) ${KcsAK}^{+}$ channel (Fig. 10-4)
(b) thioredoxin (Fig. 23-11)

Short Answer

Expert verified

It is an alpha protein.
It is alpha/ beta protein.

Step by step solution

Step 1: Function of alpha protein

The AFP's primary function is to transport heavy metal ions and different insoluble compounds, including copper and nickel, fatty acids, bilirubin, and medicines, through the fetus鈥� blood circulation.

Classifying the protein

a) The $K c s A K^{+}$ Channel is made up of four identical subunits that form a tetramer. There are two alpha units in each subunit.

Therefore, is an alpha protein.

Classification of thioredoxin protein

b) The alpha/beta protein thioredoxin is an example. Redox reactions are catalyzed.

Hence, thioredoxin is an alpha/beta protein.
