Bacteriorhodopsin pumps protons across the bacterial plasma membrane from the cytosolic side to the extracellular side of the me

mbrane in a series of steps. Choose the step that correctly describe a step used to pump protons across the membrane.A. A proton is transferred from excited retinal to the Asp96 side chain. B. The chromaphore retinal absorbs a photon of light, causing a double bond in retinal to isomerize from trans to cis configuration. C. A proton from Asp96 on the cytosolic side of the protein is used to regenerate retinal.D. A proton from the cytosol side is transferred along multiple water molecules to Asp85.

Answer: Option B.

B. The chromaphore retinal absorbs a photon of light, causing a double bond in retinal to isomerize from trans to cis configuration.

Explanation:

Bacteriorhodopsin is a protein used by archaea or half bacteria that pumps proton across membrane by using the light energy from sun to move protons across membrane. It is found in purple membrane of archaea cells which is known as two dimensional crystalline patches.

It captures photon energy through chromophore retina which is covalently bound and transporting the photons against their electrochemical gradients from the cytoplasm to the extracellular space.

A protein biochemist attempted to determine the amino acid sequence of a decapeptide. Use the results from the trypsin, chymotry
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

The possible sequence of the decapeptide is Met-Val-Lys-Tyr-Thr-Trp-Ala-Arg-Pro-Phe.

Explanation:

The cyanogen bromide cleaves the carboxyl end of Met (methionine and non-peptide). Trypsin cleaves on the C-terminal of Arg and Lys, however, not on the N-terminal of Pro, which signifies that Lys is the last amino acid in T2. Hence, Met-Val-Lys----. The middle part of the sequence can be predicted from the digestion done by chymotrypsin.

The chymotrypsin cleaves on the C terminal of Phe, Trp, Tyr, however, not on the N side of Pro. CT3 exhibit Lys, Met, Tyr, Val, as Met-Val and Tyr are the initial three amino acids, therefore, Tyr must be the fourth one. Now the sequence will be Met-Val-Lys-Tyr...

CT1 possesses Ala, Arg, Phe, Pro, as chymotrypsin cleaves the C side of the Phe, thus, the last amino acid should be Phe. Also, CT1 has Ala as the first amino acid. Also, trypsin does not cleave on the N-end of Pro. Thus, the sequence of CT1 strands will be Ala-Arg-Pro-Phe.  

In CT2, chymotrypsin cleaves on the C-side of trp. Thus, the sequence of CT2 strands as Thr-Trp is found in the middle. Thus, the whole sequence of the decapeptide strand will be:  

Met-Val-Lys-Tyr-Thr-Trp-Ala-Arg-Pro-Phe.
