2. The amino acids with polar uncharged R groups are characterised by:
- polar, uncharged groups in the side chains which can form H bonds eg OH, SH, C=O
- polar, charged groups in the side chains which can form H bonds eg OH, SH, C=O
- uncharged basic groups
- uncharged acidic groups
3. Which component of the general structure of AA is acidic?
- R-group
- COO-
- H
- NH3+
4. Amongst AA's commonly found in proteins Glycine is unique as:
- high concs are not found in alpha helices
- it does not contain a chiral alpha carbon
- the side chain contains only one hydrogen
- all the things
- it is commonly found in beta turns
5. The AA's hydroxyproline and hydroxylysine...
- are translated from specific DNA sequences
- are hydroxylated forms of proline and lysine, which require vit C as an enzyme cofactor for their synthesis
- are hydroxylated forms of proline and lysine, which require vit C as an enzyme cofactor for the synthesis and are found at high levels in collagen
- are hydroxylated forms of proline and lysine, thus not encoded by the genetic code
