Question 6

A respiratory protein from a marine invertebrate molecule is a quaternary structure consisting of two alpha (α\alphaα) chains and two beta (β\betaβ) chains.

The number of amino acids in each of the β\betaβ chains is 5.517%5.517\%5.517% greater than in each of the α\alphaα chains. Each α\alphaα chain contains 145145145 amino acids.

Calculate the total number of amino acids in this protein molecule. Give your answer to the nearest whole number.
