3 Mark Questions

1. Describe the important parts of a mass spectrometer with diagrams. Describe its uses in study of proteins.
2. Describe the technique used to identify sickle cell anemia in the laboratory. Who developed this technique?
3. In a variant of chymotrypsin Asp 102 is replaced by Glu 102. Do you expect the enzyme to retain activity? Schematically indicate the role of the amino acid residues participating in catalysis.
4. Subtilisin has been improved by protein engineering to serve as a component of laundry detergent. What are the features of this improvement and how have they been achieved?
5. Monoclonal antibody against CD3 is an effective therapeutic agent in overcoming renal graft rejection. Why?
6. Briefly explain how the serine residue in some enzymes can become acidic. Also suggest how you can confirm that a serine residue is involved in catalysis.
