1. | The positional information of amino acids in a protein is called the primary structure. |
2. | Alpha helix is a secondary structure and beta pleated sheet is a tertiary structure of a protein. |
3. | Tertiary structure is absolutely necessary for the many biological activities of proteins. |
4. | Quaternary structures are seen in proteins made of more than one polypeptide chain. |

II: | Mg2+ is its activator |
1. | Only I is correct |
2. | Only II is correct |
3. | Both I and II are correct |
4. | Both I and II are incorrect |
The unique properties of each amino acid is determined by its particular:
1. R group
2. amino group
3. kinds of peptide bond
4. number of bonds to other amino acids
Which of the following is the least likely to be involved in stabilizing the three-dimensional folding of most proteins?
1. | Ester bonds | 2. | Hydrogen bonds |
3. | Electrostatic interaction | 4. | Hydrophobic interaction |
The essential chemical components of many coenzymes are:
1. | Nucleic acid | 2. | Carbohydrates |
3. | Vitamins | 4. | Proteins |
I: | Low temperature preserves the enzyme in a temporarily inactive state whereas high temperature destroys enzymatic activity. |
II: | With the increase in substrate concentration, the velocity of the enzymatic reaction rises at first. |
1. | Only I is correct |
2. | Only II is correct |
3. | Both I and II are correct |
4. | Both I and II are incorrect |
Even in the presence of malonate, the velocity of the reaction catalyzed by the enzyme succinic dehydrogenase can be increased by:
1. increasing the temperature beyond 400C
2. decreasing the pH
3. increasing the concentration of succinate
4. decreasing the production of ATP by chemiosmosis
