Three given polypeptides ( P , Q and R ) , of same size and same pI (7.2) , have a single aspartic acid in each of them. In polypeptide P , the aspartic acid residue is on the surface. In polypeptide Q , it is surrounded by negatively charged residues, whereas in polypeptide R it is deeply buried in a hydrophobic core. pKa of the side chain carboxylate of free (in solution) aspartic acid is 3.65 . The polypeptides ar
Options
- Aremain the same in P , modest increase in Q and greater increase in R.
- Bremain the same in all the three polypeptides
- Cincrease in P , decrease in Q and remain the same in R
- Dremain the same in P , increase Q and decrease in R
Correct answer
A. remain the same in P , modest increase in Q and greater increase in R.
