It is possible to make some predictions about protein secondary structure based on the primary sequence. Consider the following amino acid sequence:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28
Ile-Ala-His-Thr-Tyr-Gly-Pro-Phe-Glu-Ala-Ala-Met-Cys-Lys-Trp-Glu-Ala-Gln-Pro-Asp-Gly-Met-Glu-Cys-Ala-Phe-His-Arg
A) Where might Beta-Turns occur?
B) Where might intrachain disulfide cross-linkages be formed?
C) Assuming that this sequence is part of a larger globular protein, what is the probable location (exterior or interior of the protein) of the amino acid residues:
Asp Ile Thr Ala Gln Lys
Explain your reasoning.
