2. Two different kinds of Rubredoxin are found in a species, which have redox potential of -40
mV (vs. SHE) and +60 mV (vs. SHE), respectively. If all the other parameters are same, how do
you think the solvent accessibility is affecting this redox potential in those two systems? 5
3. Write down the structure of [2Fe2S] cluster. Mention the core charge, cluster charge, and the
spin state of this cluster in both oxidized and reduced form. 5+15
4. (a) Mention the main differences between a typical [4Fe4S] and HiPIP systems.
(b) Why the HiPIP system has more positive redox potential compared to typical [4Fe4S]
cluster? 5+5
7. How you can distinguish between -helix and -sheet protein structures in solution? 5
8. Draw all the possible modes in which aspartic acid can bind a metal (only consider the side
chain of the amino acid). 8
