Myoglobin functions as a tetramer and shows allosteric binding kinetics. e. All but a are true.8. Please choose the true statement: a. Buffers are weak acids that buffer most effectively at the pKa of the acid, but can buffer within one pH unit above and one pH unit below the acid’s pKa.b.

Please select the true statement:a. The proximal histidine of hemoglobin acts to limit access to the central iron ion, and prevent superoxide release. b. When oxygen leaves the hemoglobin oxygen-binding site as superoxide, the resultant oxidation state of that iron ion in the heme molecule is 3+.c. The primary function of myoglobin is to carry oxygen in the blood. d. All of the above are true.10. In adding amino acids to form a peptide, a peptide bond forms between the alpha amino group of the amino acid already in the chain, and the alpha carboxy group of the incoming amino acid being added. True False11. In the lipid bilayer, lipids are held together by covalent bonds to form the lipid membrane. True False12. In aqueous solution, polar amino acids are most commonly on the outside of a protein, while non-polar amino acids are generally buried inside the protein, away from the aqueous solution. True False13. Please select the *FALSE * answer:a. The four elements at the highest mole percent in humans are H, C, N, Ob. Amino acids in living organisms are in the L-configurationc.

Please select the true statement: a. Prolines tend to kink the peptide backbone, and are commonly found in areas where the peptide backbone changes direction, such as the beginning of an alpha helix. b. Free alanine has a positive charge of one in aqueous solution at physiologic pH.c. Glycine is one of the most commonly substituted amino aids in proteins because it is so small.d. Disulfide bonds form between two cysteine residues under reducing conditions. e. All the above are true except b.f. Only a and d are true. 15. Select the *FALSE* statement:a. Alpha helices are held in position by hydrogen bonds parallel to the axis of the helix.b. Hydrogen bonds that stabilize alpha helices form between main chain atoms 3-4 amino acids apart. c. Peptide bonds show partial double bond characteristicsd. Beta-strands are held together by hydrogen bonds between R-groups. e. Amino acid R-groups project outward from the alpha helices.16. Alpha helices are right-handed helical structures that are hollow at the centerof the helix. True False.17. The structure in Figure 1 is: a. Lipidb. DNAc. Proteind. RNA18. The amino acid sequence of a yeast protein is 80% identical to its human homolog, but the DNA sequences of the genes that encode these two proteins are only 65% identical. How can this be?a.
