Test: Proteins & Structure of Proteins - Question 1

The spatial arrangement produced by the twisting and folding of peptide chains in proteins is called:

Detailed Solution for Test: Proteins & Structure of Proteins - Question 1
  • The spatial arrangement produced by the twisting and folding of peptide chains in proteins is called secondary structure.
  • Secondary structure is comprised of regions stabilized by hydrogen bonds between atoms in the polypeptide backbone.
  • Tertiary structure is the three-dimensional shape of the protein determined by regions stabilized by interactions between the side chains.
Test: Proteins & Structure of Proteins - Question 2

Enormous diversity of protein molecules is due to

Detailed Solution for Test: Proteins & Structure of Proteins - Question 2

Proteins are building blocks of the body. The proteins are made up of amino acids. The amino acids are linked together by peptide bonds to form a protein. The amino acids consist of amine group made up of nitrogen and hydrogen and the carboxyl group at the end and a side chain of R group which is specific to a particular amino acid. This specific group brings a variability to the proteins. If R group is H it is glycine while if it is CH2 it is alanine. The sequence of amino acids determines the protein.

Test: Proteins & Structure of Proteins - Question 3

At pH = 4, glycine exists as:

Detailed Solution for Test: Proteins & Structure of Proteins - Question 3

Glycine is the simplest amino acid represented by the symbol Gly or G. It is an amino acid that has a single hydrogen atom in its side chain. The

chemical formula of glycine is NH2CH2COOH. Glycine generally exists as colorless crystalline solid. Out of all the amino acids glycine is the only

achiral proteinogenic amino acid and it can be fit into hydrophilic or hydrophobic environments due to its chain of only one hydrogen atom.

Now in the given question glycine at pH4 will be exist as, at pH4 glycine is in acidic form and the zwitterion of glycine is shown by:

NH3+ - CH2COOwhen it reacts with H+ ion then the reaction can be described in the following manner:
NH3+ - CH2COO- → NH3+ - CH2COOH

Test: Proteins & Structure of Proteins - Question 4

Proteins perform many physiological functions. For example, some function as enzymes. Which one of the following represents an additional function which some proteins discharge?

Detailed Solution for Test: Proteins & Structure of Proteins - Question 4

Hormones are chemical substances which are released in the body for regulation and metabolism in cells.

Many hormones such as insulin and parathormone are proteinic in nature.

Test: Proteins & Structure of Proteins - Question 5

How are essential amino acids obtained?

Detailed Solution for Test: Proteins & Structure of Proteins - Question 5
  • Amino acids can be divided into two groups- essential amino acids and non-essential amino acids.
  • Non-essential amino acids are produced by the body while essential amino acids are obtained through our diet.
Test: Proteins & Structure of Proteins - Question 6

Which of the following is not a conjugated protein?

Detailed Solution for Test: Proteins & Structure of Proteins - Question 6

A conjugated protein is a protein that functions in interaction with other (non-polypeptide) chemical groups attached by covalent bonding or weak interactions. Many proteins contain only amino acids and no other chemical groups, and they are called simple proteins.

Test: Proteins & Structure of Proteins - Question 7

A homopolymer has only one type of building block called a monomer repeated ‘n’ number of times. A heteropolymer has more than one type of monomer. Proteins are heteropolymers made of amino acids. While a nucleic acid like DNA or RNA is made of only 4 types of nucleotide monomers, proteins are made of

Detailed Solution for Test: Proteins & Structure of Proteins - Question 7

Amino acids joined by peptide bonds form proteins. Twenty types of amino acids are present in natural proteins.

Test: Proteins & Structure of Proteins - Question 8

Nitrogen is an important component of

Detailed Solution for Test: Proteins & Structure of Proteins - Question 8

Proteins are building blocks of the body. The proteins are made up of amino acids. The amino acids are linked together by peptide bonds to form a protein.The amino acids consists of amine group made up of nitrogen and hydrogen and the carboxyl group at the end and a side chain of R group which is specific to a particular amino acid. The amine group (NH2) is made up of nitrogen and hydrogen.

So, the correct answer is option D.

Test: Proteins & Structure of Proteins - Question 9

What type of helices are observed in proteins?

Detailed Solution for Test: Proteins & Structure of Proteins - Question 9

 

In proteins, only right-handed helices are observed. This means that the helical structures in proteins have a specific orientation and twist.

Test: Proteins & Structure of Proteins - Question 10

Essential amino acids are those which are:

Detailed Solution for Test: Proteins & Structure of Proteins - Question 10

Essential amino acids not synthesised in the body. As a result, they must come from food. The 9 essential amino acids are: histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine.
