9. Describe the importance of DNA in determining the structure of a particular protein.
1. Explain why is it necessary for a protein to adopt specific tertiary and quaternary arrangements. 2.Explain the role of hydrogen bonding and disulfide bonds between R groups. 3. Explain the similarities and differences between rna and dna.
Give six point of difference between DNA and RNA in their structure chemistry and function?
19. Discuss the process of protein synthesis in cells. Include in your answer the definitions of replication, transcription, and translation and identify where each process occurs in the cell.
1. Using diagrammatic representations, distinguish between: nucleotide, nucleoside and nucleic acid.
1. How are nucleotides formed?
8. List 4 tertiary interactions that exist in protein molecules and include what type of R groups (side chains) that must be present to undergo that specific interation.
Tt 7. What is the driving force that promotes secondary structure formation of alpha helices and beta sheets? How is this force arranged to make an alpha helix or beta sheet? What promotes turns or kinks in these structures? You can describe and/or draw it but please show what are the interactions facilitating this effect.
9. The functions of proteins in the human body: the catalytic, structural, regulatory, contractile, protective, transport and energy-providing functions of proteins.
3. Choose one of the following structures (a or b) to draw. a) Draw the basic structure of a nucleotide that is found only in RNA. Use 'P' for the phosphate (or try to draw this functional group if you wish). You must correctly draw the sugar/ribose, and include the appropriate nitrogenous base attached at the correct location. OR b) Draw the basic structure of the polysaccharide amylose (starch) - only include 3 monosaccharides within this chain. You do not need to draw the 'C' atoms within the ring, unless you want to. If you wish to leave the hydrogen atoms out that is fine, but make sure to include all functional groups and important bonds. 4. Illustrate with diagram(s) the process of competitive inhibition. Your labels and a brief description will be enough to summarize the process perfectly.
