Answers with explanation
16.d)
Both plant cell wall and collagen
Explanation: 4-hydroxyproline, 5-hydroxy lysine, selenocysteine, desmosine, carboxy glutamate all are uncommon amino acids
17.a)
18.c) amino acids and 2 peptide bonds
19.c)
Ormithine and citrulline are uncommon amino acids present in many proteins
Remember, these two amino acids are not present in any proteins.
20.d
Tryptophan, tyrosine and phenylalanine can absorb at 280 nm. These are aromatic amino acids. Tryptophan and tyrosine absorbs strongly at 280nm where as phenylalanine has comparatively low absorbance.
21.a) ER.
Two cysteine amino acids are linked by di-sulphide bond to form cystine. Di-sulphide bonds are formed only in the highly oxidizing environment of ER.
22.c Hydrophobic interaction (Bonds in Proteins)
23.c histidine has a pKa of 6.0 and has buffering capacity
24.b) Elastin
25.c) 6 Trypsin cleave at C-terminal of lysine or arginine residue
26.b) homologs.
EF-Tu elongation factor is involved in protein synthesis of bacteria. The protein counterpart in eukaryote is EF-1α. Both are members of the same family with a common ancestry.
27.d Peptide bond is formed by non-condensation reaction. Actually Peptide bond is formed by condensation reaction.
28.a) 3.6 residues/turn and is a right handed helix in all proteins. You have to read the options carefully before picking one.
29.a) glycine and proline.
Proline is an alpha helix terminator as it cannot form H- bond with other residues. Glycine is the simplest amino acid and has high conformational flexibility. Polymers of glycine form coiled structures entirely different from alpha helix.
30.c
PDI (protein di sulphide isomerase) is an enzyme involved in shuffling of di sulphide bonds in protein folding. Refer our post protein folding.
31. a) Conformational organization
32. c) Right handed
33. d) Albumin
