Assignment II

Part II: Biochemistry

  • What are the differences in the amino acid sequences of the proteins produced by the alleles you define in Part I? Hint: use the Compare menu to find the difference(s)

between the amino acid sequences. Allele Protein Structures

  • Green:Met-Ser-Asn-Arg-His-Ile-Leu-Leu-Val-Tyr-Trp-Arg-Gln
  • Blue:Met-Ser-Asn-Arg-His-Ile-Leu-Leu-Val-Tyr-Cys-Arg-Gln
  • Yellow:Met-Ser-Asn-Arg-His-Ile-Leu-Leu-Val-Trp-Cys-Arg-Gln
  • Red:Met-Ser-Asn-Arg-His-Ile-Leu-Leu-Val-Phe-Cys-Arg-Gln
  • White:Met-Ser-Asn-Arg-His-Ile-Leu-Leu-Val-Val-Cys-Arg-Gln
  • What features of the amino acid sequence make a protein pigmented?
  • What features of the amino acid sequence make a protein a particular color?
  • How do the colors combine to produce an overall color? How does this explain the

genotype-phenotype rules you found in part (I)?

  • Which proteins are found in each of the four starting organisms?
  • Using this knowledge, construct a purple protein.

Notes
