Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The reason for the statement that “knowing the complete genome of an organism does not necessarily tell about the nature of all the proteins in the organism” is to be stated.

- 22-101 Using what you know about protein denaturation, what is one reason you must maintain a body temperature in a strict range?arrow_forward22-6 The members of which class of proteins are insoluble in water and can serve as structural materials?arrow_forward22-42 (a) How many atoms of the peptide bond lie in the same plane? (b) Which atoms are they?arrow_forward
- 22-53 Do iron and zinc ions play role in protein structure? If so, what is the role for either or both?arrow_forward22-48 How many amino acid residues in the A chain of insulin are the same in insulin from humans, cattle (bovine), hogs, and sheep?arrow_forward22-49 Based on your knowledge of the chemical properties of amino acid side chains, suggest a substitution for leucine in the primary structure of a protein that would probably not change the character of the protein very much.arrow_forward
- 22-7 What is the function of an immunoglobulin?arrow_forward22-89 What kind of noncovalent interaction occurs between the following amino acids? (a) Valine and isoleucine (b) Glutamic acid and lysine (c) Tyrosine and threonine (d) Alanine and alaninearrow_forward22-64 If both cysteine residues on the B chain of insulin were changed to alanine residues, how would it affect the quaternary structure of insulin?arrow_forward
- 21-82 Suggest a reason why the same protein system moves both sodium and potassium ions into and out of the cell.arrow_forward22-45 Proteins are least soluble at their isoelectric points. What would happen to a protein precipitated at its isoelectric point if a few drops of dilute HCl were added?arrow_forward22-62 Distinguish between intermolecular and intramolecular hydrogen bonding between backbone groups. Where in protein structures do you find one, and where do you find the other?arrow_forward
