(short response) Hemoglobin is said to be a tetramer. A) What is a tetramer? B) Structurally, a tetramer describes what level of protein organization? Your Answer: A. A tetramer is a protein that has four subunits. Two of the subunits are called alpha subunits while the other two are called beta subunits. B. A tetramer describes the quaternary structure A) Simply it means that hemoglobin has four subunits or four independent polypeptide chains interacting non-covalently. Each protein molecule is composed of two copies each of two different subunits a and b. We say that hemoglobin is a tetramer because it has four polypeptide chains. B) It is describing the quaternary structure, which has two or more independent polypeptide chains that associate with one another to form a quaternary structure.
5 / 5 pts (short response) There are collections of protein structure that fit between true secondary and true tertiary structure. What is the name of the collections of protein structure? Explain this type of structure. Motifs occupy a position between secondary and tertiary. Motifs are particularly stable arrangements of secondary structure, including the connections between them. Motifs are found in a variety of proteins from across all organisms.
5 / 5 pts (Short response) A. Define the primary level of protein structure. B) How do scientists communicate the primary sequence? The primary level is the order of amino acids covalently bonded together, including disulfide bonds, in a polypeptide chain. The primary sequence is written, for proteins, from N to C terminal using the one-letter or three-letter abbreviations.
5 / 5 pts Define the term โactive site.โ Your Answer:
The active site, made up of about 10 amino acids, is the place on an enzyme where catalysis happens. It is usually small compared to the overall protein. The active site is the spot on the enzyme where catalysis takes place. This area is often small when compared to the overall size of the protein. In fact, about 10 amino acids make up the active site.
