Question

Synthetic polypeptide can adopt secondary structures under specific conditions. Indicate whether poly-Lysine and poly-Glutamate form an alpha-helix or a disordered structure at the indicated pH values.

MATCH

Poly-Glutamate at pH 2.0

Poly-Glutamate at pH 7.0

Poly-Glutamate at pH 13.0

Poly-Lysine at pH 2.0

Poly-Lysine at pH 7.0

Poly-Lysine at pH 13.0
