Which level of protein structure is shown in this image?

1

Why does a protein take on the shapes shown in this image?

1

Which statement best explains why proteins can serve so many different functions?

1

A mystery molecule contains nitrogen. What is the molecule most likely to be?

1

A mystery molecule is added to a test tube of water, and it floats to the top. What is the molecule most likely to be?

1

A mystery molecule quickly dissolves in water. It has a relatively low molecular weight (as compared to other biological molecules). What is the molecule most likely to be?

1

The R group of the amino acid serine is highly polar. The R group of the amino acid leucine is highly nonpolar. Where would you expect to find these amino acids in a globular protein that is normally dissolved in water?

1

Which of the following is NOT a monomer?

1

Figure 1 illustrates a dipeptide, created through dehydration synthesis. At which bond would water need to be added to achieve hydrolysis of the peptide, back to its component amino acids?

1

The functionality of a protein is determined by its shape when in its native conformation. The native conformation of a protein is determined by the set of amino acids that comprise the protein's sequence. A certain protein consists of 325 amino acids. What could be the result if one of the amino acids in this protein were changed?
