(46 cards)
This type of proteins provides protection and support that have very specialized properties.
structural proteins
The heme in hemoglobin is a(n)
small molecule within a protein
Given are three (3) Statements:
(1) Some tertiary-structure interactions involve covalent bonding.
(2) Nonpolar amino acids contain one amino group, one carboxyl group, and a nonpolar side chain.
(3) The two amino acids present in a dipeptide are linked via an amide linkage.
All three correct
What do you call a genetic disease wherein red cells assumes a sickle cell shape?
sickle cell anemia
These are proteins that result from the decomposition of simple and compound proteins.
derived protein
Fibrous protein is made predominantly of what type of secondary structure?
beta pleated sheet
The complete hydrolysis of a protein produces a mixture of
free amino acids
Denaturation of a protein
disrupts the secondary, tertiary or quaternary structure of a protein
What is the main reason the peptide bond cannot be rotated?
Because it has double bond on the O attached to alpha
carbon
Which of the following terms describes a protein secondary structure?
alpha helix
Determine the structural level (primary, secondary, tertiary, quaternary) associated with each of the protein
characteristics.
Characteristic:
Sequence of amino acids in a protein chain
primary structure
In a sickle-cell anemia, the hemoglobin molecules
clump together into insoluble fibers
This structure of protein refers to the unique 3-D conformations that globular proteins assume as they fold onto their native (biologically active) structure.
tertiary structure
Hemoglobin is an example of a protein with
globular structure
What type of non-covalent bond stabilizes the alpha helix and the beta pleated sheet structure of proteins?
hydrogen bond
Which of the following is an incorrect characterization for the protein hemoglobin?
simple protein
Heavy metals (toxic metals) denature proteins by
disrupting disulfide bonds
Which of the following statements concerning the tripeptide Val-Ala-Gly is correct?
Three peptide linkages are present.
This is a good example of a beta pleated sheet.
silk
To which of the following levels of protein structure is the sequence of amino acids in a protein directly related?
primary
These are types of protein that connect the human system into the surroundings.
sensory
How many different tripeptides can be formed from two molecules of leucine (Leu) and one molecule of glutamic acid (Glu)?
five
It is considered an important fibrous protein that binds cell together to make tissues secreted from cells and
assemble in long fibers.
Extracellular matrix
How many peptide linkages are present in a tripeptide?
three
