Identify the true statements regarding disulfide bridges (disulfide bonds). Disulfide bridges are formed by an irreversible oxidation reaction. Disulfide bridges can exist between two amino acid residues on different chains. Disulfide bridges have a stabilizing effect on proteins. A disulfide bridge forms between two cysteine residues. Disulfide bridges are important to primary and secondary structure.

Which of the following statements is incorrect? The rigidity of a saturated fatty acid is based on the strong bonding between sp3-hybridized carbon chains. Glycerophospholipids are the most abundant lipids in cellular membranes. In delta notation of fatty acid nomenclature, the numbering starts at the α-carbon from the carboxylic acid end. Hormones, such as testosterone, estradiol and progesterone are examples of steroidal lipids.

Which of the following is true about a peptide bond: Electron delocalization occurs between the a-amino group of one residue and the a-carbon of the subsequent residue The peptide bond is freely rotatable along its bond axis The peptide bond contains 5 co-planar atoms Dehydration to link two residues occurs due to thermodynamic coupling to high-energy phosphate hydrolysis None of the answers are correct
Which of the following statements incorrectly describes the structure of an adenosine triphosphate molecule? ATP contains the aromatic base adenine, the hexose sugar ribose, and a chain of three phosphate groups. The three phosphate groups are linked to each other by phosphoanhydride bonds. One phosphate group is linked to the ribose via a phosphoester bond. Adenosine is formed by linking adenine and ribose.
Serine, cysteine, threonine can participate in hydrogen bonding. Valine cannot. Explain differences in structure that cause this.
