Understand alpha helices and beta pleated sheets Question How is it possible for the a-helix to have amino acids with bulky side chains while the B-pleated sheets cannot? Select the correct answer below: O The R groups in the a-helix stabilize the structure, while they interfere with the hydrogen bonds in a B-pleated sheet. The R groups are contained inside the a-helix structure, while they interfere with the hydrogen bonds in a B- pleated sheet. O The R groups lie...
27. Alpha-helices and beta pleated sheets represent which structural level of proteins? A. primary B. secondary C. tertiary D. elementary E basal 28. Which of the following is the first step in translation? A Small 40S ribosome subunit with initiation factors binds to the 5' cap of the mRNA and scans for the start codon. B. The RNA carrying Methionine binds to the P site and the large 60S subunit binds to form the complete ribosome. C. Elongation factors deliver...
Distinguish between the different levels of protein structure, including primary, secondary, tertiary, and Question Prions are a type of protein implicated in bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), also known as "mad cow disease," and related pathologies found in sheep (scrappie) and humans (Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease). The disease occurs when sections of an otherwise healthy protein misfold from alpha-helices to beta-pleated sheets, forming tightly packed sections of beta-pleated sheets that are difficult to break down. The disease propagates because the misfolded prions induce...
16) Which of the following is an example of a protein that exhibits a quaternary structure? 1. a) insulin 2. b) hemoglobin 3.c) collagen 4. d) keratin 2 4 3 1 Question 3 3) The a-helix and ß-pleated sheet are both forms of the structure of proteins. a) primary b) secondary c) tertiary d) quaternary
24. The _______ of amino acids in a protein is referred to as its primary structure. A) twisting B) sequencing C) folding D) none of these 25. The structure of a protein is most important because the _______ of the amino acids determines its overall shape, function and properties. A) primary, twisting B) primary, sequencing C) secondary, twisting D) secondary, folding E) none of these 26. The secondary structure of a protein is due to_______ between amino acid residues. A) hydrophobic interactions B) hydrogen bonding...
QUESTION 2 Select the CORRECT statements (chose all that are correct). Secondary protein structures are held together by disulphide bridges/bonds. Alpha helices and beta sheets are common secondary protein structures. Tertiary protein structures are held together by covalent bonds only. Secondary protein structures are held together by hydrogen bonds only. All proteins have a quaternary protein structure. Amino acids linked with a peptide bond make up the primary protein structure.
Classify each protein example according to its highest level of protein structure. Primary structure Secondary structure Tertiary structure Quaternary structure myoglobin with heme thethe C helix of α-lactalbumin Gly-Ala-Val-Leu hemoglobin
Which level of protein structure is disrupted by allosteric inhibition? A. Primary B. Secondary C. Tertiary D. Quaternary
6.) Provide short answers for the questions about protein structure below: a.) True or False, amino acid sequence defines the native structure of protein. b.) What is the main type of bonding responsible for stabilizing the secondary structure of proteins? c.) Briefly discuss the thermodynamics of protein folding into its native 3D structure. Is this process enthalpy driven or entropy driven? d.) Give an example of 2 major secondary structural motifs found in polypeptides. Do any of these motifs appear...
