Which of the following statements are False?
(i) Parallel b-sheets characteristically distribute hydrophobic side chains on both sides of the sheet, and antiparallel B-sheets are usually arranged with all their hydrophobic residues on one side of the sheet.
(ii) Planarity of the peptide bond means that no rotation occurs about the N-Ca bond while rotation is allowed about the C(O)-N and Ca-C(O) bonds.
(iii) Silk fibers consist of fibroin proteins consisting of alternating A and G or S residues.
(iv) If an aspartic acid residue were present in the interior of a globular protein, it would most likely be deprotonated and thus negatively charged.
Which of these statements about hemoglobin is NOT true? A) it is a tetrameric globular protein b) it has a prosthetic group called heme c) it’s dominant motif is beta barrel d) its dominant motif is helix-turn-helix
The reagent used to break disulfide bonds is: a) urea b) beta-mercaptoethanol c) guanidine hydrochloride d) phosphorus pentachloride
Which of the following about protein denaturation is not trueA. It is always irreversible B. It is a shape change C. It may be due to pH / temperature change D. Most of the proteins denature when transferred from aqueous environment to organs solvents E. Its function is lost.
