Choose each item that is wrong about the following statement:
"The 153 amino acid-long, single chain of the well-studied sperm whale
myoglobin molecule folds into a mostly alpha helical domain comprised
of seven alpha helices connected to one another by beta strands. The
oxygen-binding part of the myoglobin molecule is a prosthetic group
known as heme which contains an Fe3+ that is linked to the G helix of the
myoglobin chain by attaching to a His side-chain."
O There are not seven alpha helices. There are eight.
The alpha helices are not connected by beta strands. They are connected by
turns.
Heme is not a prosthetic group. Instead, heme is a post-translationally
modified amino acid.
There is not a single chain in myoglobin, there are two chains.
Heme does not contain Fe3+. Instead it contains Fe2+
Heme is not joined to the G helix. Instead it is joined to the F helix.
Myoglobin is not found in sperm whales. Instead, it is found in whale sperm.
Heme is not attached to a His side-chain of myoglobin. Instead, it is attached
to oxygen.
