Question 2 a new startup company hires you to help with their product development. Your task is to find a protein that interacts with a polysaccharide ) You find a large protein that has a single binding site for the polysaccharide cellulose Which amino acids might you expect to find in the binding pocket of the protein? What is the strongest type of interaction possible between these amino acids and the cellulose? In the course of your research you discover a small polypeptide that is associated with cellulose. You want to design an enzyme that will bind this small polypeptide. You design the enzyme shown below. b)In the table below please indicate which amino acid you placed in each position to give the strongest possible interaction between your enzyme and the small polypeptide. For instance, you would choose an amino acid for position d that most strongly interacts with the carboxyl group of the small polypeptide. Also list what interaction occurs at each position(choose from covalent bond, ionic bond, hydrogen bond, or van der Waals forces Amino acid Amino acid Interaction DEF 7012Fall20037.012 Fall 2003 2 Question 2 A new startup company hires you to help with their product development.
