What are two features of your proteins structure that make it different OR similar to haemoglobin? (please compare the structural feature identified within your protein with the structural features of haemoglobin)
Written Assessment
You must have a designated Protein Data Bank (PDB) code to complete this assessment.
Research your protein by entering the PDB code into the Protein Data Bank website: https://www.rcsb.org/
Please answer all questions and include references as appropriate. A Reference section can be included below the questions. Please use Harvard WesternSydU style for referencing, see library website for details and a style guide; https://library.uws.edu.au/main/guides/referencing-citation
Q1 – What is the name of the protein? (1 mark)
Q2 – What does the protein do? (2 marks)
Q3 – What are the structural features of the protein? (4 marks) (please make sure you discuss quaternary structure (after talking about primary, secondary, tertiary structures). Or why does or does not have quaternary structure).
Q4 – What are two features of your proteins structure that make it different OR similar to haemoglobin? (2 marks) (please compare the structural feature identified within your protein with the structural features of haemoglobin)
Q5 – Based on the structural properties of your protein, how resistant (or sensitive) would your protein be to heat denaturation and why? (1 mark)
