1-Dont try to cram or spend more time here just read it fast and cover syllabus then practice MCQ's cheptor of same topic to check your progress. . |
2-Wrong options are also given but dont concentrate there, Right answer is in bold format. |
Q1 ⇒ Attractive Vander Waals forces occur between any pair of nearby atoms [other wrong options] [Discuss in forum] apolar molecules in the liquid state polar molecules in the solid state only if other forces are less favorable |
Q2 ⇒ Unpaired H-bond donors and acceptors are found in the hydrophobic core of a protein rarely [other wrong options] [Discuss in forum] only at the ends of a-helices only at the turns connecting p-strands only on Pro residues |
Q3 ⇒ If the egg white protein, ovalbumin, is denatured in a hard-boiled egg, then which of the following is least affected? The primary structure of ovalbumin [other wrong options] [Discuss in forum] The secondary structure of ovalbumin The tertiary structure of ovalbumin The quaternary structure of ovalbumin |
Q4 ⇒ Which of the following forces is the most unfavorable for protein folding? Conformational entropy [other wrong options] [Discuss in forum] Hydrophobic interactions Vander Waals interactions Electrostatic interactions |
Q5 ⇒ For the unfolding reaction of Protein G, ΔH° =210.6 kJ/mol, this means that folding is favored enthalpically [other wrong options] [Discuss in forum] unfolding is favored enthalpically the entropy is positive at all temperatures the entropy is negative at all temperatures |
Q6 ⇒ Buried hydrophobic side chains in a globular protein fit into a hole formed by the side chains of 5-7 other amino acids [other wrong options] [Discuss in forum] 1-3 other amino acids 9-12 other amino acids 13-15 other amino acids |
Q7 ⇒ At the midpoint of a temperature transition curve, All of these [other wrong options] [Discuss in forum] half of the protein is denatured Keq = 1.0 and ΔG = 0 [Native] = [Unfolded] |
Q8 ⇒ The correlation between free energy ΔG transfer between the aqueous/organic phases and the surface area of amino acid residues reflects the reduction in solvent-accessible area during protein folding [other wrong options] [Discuss in forum] is only meaningful for the polar amino acids ignores the important contribution of the peptide bond is similar to effects seen with SDS denaturation |
Q9 ⇒ Which of the following forces is the most favorable for protein folding? Hydrophobic Interactions [other wrong options] [Discuss in forum] Conformational entropy Vander Waals interactions Hydrogen bonds |
Q10 ⇒ Since ΔG° = -RTlnK a 10-fold increase in K decreases ΔG° by about 2.3*RT [other wrong options] [Discuss in forum] a 10-fold increase in K decreases ΔG° by about 10-fold a 10-fold decrease in K decreases ΔG° by about 2.3*RT a 10-fold decrease in K increases ΔG° by about 10-fold |
Q11 ⇒ Which of the following is the most correct? Charged amino acids are seldom buried in the interior of a protein [other wrong options] [Discuss in forum] Charged amino acids are never buried in the interior of a protein All hydrophobic amino acids are buried when a protein folds Tyrosine is only found in the interior of proteins |
