1. True or False: Peptide bond formation from free amino acids is spontaneous. 2. True or False: Because peptide bond hydrolysis is spontaneous, peptide bonds in a cup of water break very quickly. 3. True or False: Peptide bonds are formed by hydrolysis. 4. True or False: If something is getting reduced, something else must be getting oxidized. 5. 6. How many peptide bonds are there in the following image? 4 7. True or False: parallel beta sheets are more favorable in most proteins than antiparallel. 8. Which one of the amino acids will most likely NOT be found in alpha helices? a. Met b. Ile c. Gly d. Ala
