Based on the chemical properties of the residues, determine which sequences would exhibit which structural properties.

(a) Most likely an amphipathic α helix

(b) Most likely an amphipathic β sheet

(c) Most likely a turn/loop

(d) Not amphipathic

(1) Asn-Leu-Ala-Asp-Ser-Phe-Arg-Gin-lle

(2) Gin-lle-Thr-Phe-Thr-Leu-Gin-Val Ser

(3) Lys-Gin-Asn-Glu-Pro-Arg-Ala-Asn-Glu

(4) Lys-Ser-Thr-Asn-Glu-Gin-Asn-Ser-Arg

(5) Ala-Phe-Leu-Val-lle-Trp-Phe-Val-Ala

(6) Arg-Phe-GIn-lle-His-Val-GIn-Phe-Glu

    a) Most likely an amphipathic α helix: Asn-Leu-Ala-Asp-Ser-Phe-Arg-Gln-Ile

    b) Most likely an amphipathic β sheet: Gln-Ile-Thr-Phe-Thr-leu-Gln-Val-Ser

    c) Most likely a turn/loop: Lys-Gln-Asn-Glu-Pro-Arg-Ala-Asn-Glu

    d) Not amphipathic: Lys-Ser-Thr-Asn-Glu-Gln-Asn-Ser-Arg

    Explanation:

    Amino acids, methionine, alanine, leucine, glutamate, and lysine are made of an alpha helix. The amino acids tryptophan, tyrosine, phenylalanine, and beta such as leucine, threonine, and valine form a beta structure. The remaining amino acids would tend to form a non-amphipathic chain.
