Are you saying that I need to add on 2 turns of AA's to my final product?
If i did that for the second equation that would give me ~30 since there are 3.6 AA's per turn in a alpha helix, which is the right answer.
I figured out how to do the second part. That was just (30x110x7/26000)...
[SOLVED] BioChem Amino acid
Homework Statement
A protein has a MW of 26,000 Daltons. The protein consist of 7 alpha helix segments that cross a cell membrane of 4.5 nm.
Homework Equations
What they want to know is the minimum number of AA's for a single segment to cross the membrane...
