Protein folding: Supersecondary structure

A supersecondary structure is a compact three-dimensional protein structure of several adjacent elements of a secondary structure that is smaller than a protein domain or a subunit. Supersecondary structures can act as nucleations in the process of protein folding. Problem: In a soluble protein that resides in the cytoplasm, where is the majority of the nonpolar amino acids found in its three-dimensional structure? A) Buried in the center of the protein B) Randomly interspersed throughout to protein C) Localized to the N-terminus of the protein D) Localized to the C-terminus of the protein D) On the surface of the protein What consists of 2 alpha chains and 2 gamma chains? A) Maternal hemoglobin B) Myoglobin C) Immunoglobulin D) Fetal hemoglobin #supersecondaryStructure #proteinMotifs #polypeptide #domain #activeSite #peptide #protein #aminoAcid #NikolaysGeneticsLessons #disulfideBridges #covalentBounding #ionicBounding #hydrophobicInteraction #proteinStructure #proteinSequence #proteinFolding #aminoAcids #proteins #Polypeptides #ImidazolRing #Histidine #polypeptideChain #oligopeptide #hydrolysesSynthesis #condensationReaction #condensationSynthesis #peptides
