Question 1
Question
Which is the only amino acid class that is hydrophobic
Answer
-
acidic
-
non-polar
-
polar
-
basic
Question 2
Question
The reaction that forms when two amino acid monomers are liked together is a hydration reaction
Question 3
Question
In which stage of the protein structure does interactions between R-groups of amino acids occur ?
Answer
-
primary
-
secondary
-
tertiary
-
quaternary
Question 4
Question
Which one is the description for hydrophobic interactions in the protein structure ?
Answer
-
Non-polar R groups are mostly arranged to the inside of the protein. The Polar, acidic and basic R groups are mostly arranged on the outside
-
Very weak attractions between the electron clouds of atoms
-
The weak negative charge of the oxygen of the C=o is attracted to the weak positive charge on a hydrogen of an OH or NH2 group
-
The COOH and NH2 groups ionise to become COO- and NH3+. These groups are strongly charged and can attract each other
-
Covalent bonds form due to reactions between the Sulphur-containing R groups of cysteines
