.the sum of the pressures that each gas would exert if they occupied twice the volume
Answer:
See explaination
Explanation:
The Cys3-cys97 and cys21-cys142 disulfides restrict the unfolded state of lysozyme enzyme to a class of more compact structures with a less exposed hydrophobic surface, compared to the unfolded states of reduced/non-crosslinked lysozyme. there are 2 major factors which lead to the stabilization of lysozyme due to disulfide bonds-
1- increase in the loop size due to the formation of disulfide bonds that leads to an increase in the even entropic effect.
2- the region formed should be flexible. the strain energy due to the formation of the disulfide bond is lower.
cys21-cys142 has a higher Tm than the cys3-cys97 because it involves flexible parts of the molecule. 21 and 142 residues are located on opposite sides of the active-site cleft where significant hinge-bending motion is seen. this introduces minimal strain in the protein.
