Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The equation for the protein that contains both lysine and aspartate and act as a buffer against
Concept introduction:
Amino acids are naturally occurring compounds in which the amino group is present on the alpha carbon of carboxyl group. Peptide linkage is formed between the amino group of one amino acid and the carboxyl group of other amino acid with the loss of water molecule.

- 22-44 How can a protein act as a buffer?arrow_forward22-104 Why is collagen not a very good source of dietary protein?arrow_forward22-45 Proteins are least soluble at their isoelectric points. What would happen to a protein precipitated at its isoelectric point if a few drops of dilute HCl were added?arrow_forward
- 1 Hyaluronic acid acts as a lubricant in the synovial fluid of joints. In rheumatoid arthritis, inflammation breaks hyaluronic acid down to smaller molecules. Under these conditions, what happens to the lubricating power of the synovial fluid?arrow_forwardWhy is complete hydrolysis of a protein not also protein denaturation?arrow_forward. What is a steroid? What basic ring structure 15 common to all steroids? Sketch an example of a steroid found in the body, and highlight the basic ring structure that makes the molecule a steroid.arrow_forward

This is an example of a a. hydrophobic interaction b. hydrogen bond c. salt bridge d. disulfide bridgearrow_forwardA protein has a tertiary structure formed by interactions between the side chains of the following pairs of amino acids. For each pair, identify the strongest type of interaction between these amino acids. a. Valine and isoleucine b. Asparagine and serine c. Glutamic acid and arginine d. Tryptophan and methionine Write the products for the complete hydrolysis of: NH2 NH NH HO H2N но Nextarrow_forwardWhich intermolecular interaction is being disrupted when a protein is denatured using acids? a. Disulfide bonds b. Salt bridges c. Hydrogen bonds d. Hydrophobic reactionsarrow_forward
