12-What are the forces that stabilize the alpha helical structure?
(Hydrogen and Vander waals forces mainly)
13-What is the basis of cauterization by silver nitrate during surgery to control bleeding?
(Silver nitrate is a heavy metal salt and by causing precipitation of proteins seals the oozing points of the blood vessels)
14-What is meant by a domain?
(Domain is a term used to denote a compact globular functional unit of a protein)
15-Why is Glutathione called a pseudo peptide?
(In glutathione instead of alpha carboxyl group, the gamma carboxyl participates in the peptide bond formation)
16-Covalent forces stabilize the tertiary structure in a protein- True or false?
(False- the non covalent forces stabilize the tertiary structure in a protein)
17- Which tests should be carried out for the detection of Tryptophan in a given solution?

19- Which protein is precipitated by full saturation with Ammonium sulphate?
(Albumin)
20- What is the relationship of amount of salt required and the molecular weight of a protein?
(More the molecular weight and lesser is the amount of salt required by the protein and vice versa)
21-What are the functions of proteins?
(Nutritive, buffering, defense, viscosity, osmotic pressure, enzymes, hormones etc)
22-Name mono amino dicarboxylic acids
(Aspartic and Glutamic acid)
23-Name heterocyclic amino acids

(Alanine, Valine, Leucine Isoleucine, Methionine, Phenyl Alanine)
29-Which protein structure determines the relationship of amino acids which are 3-4 residues apart ?
(Tertiary structure)
30-Which test will be negative for a protein lacking tryptophan ?
(Hopkins cole test)
31-Name the essential amino acids
( Valine, Leucine, Isoleucine, lysine, Phenylalanine, Methionine and Threonine)
32-Which amino acid is optically inactive ?
(Glycine)
33-Which amino acid is abundantly present in prolamines ?
(Proline)
34-Which protein is mostly found attached to DNA?
(Histone)
35-Name the amino acids which are both glucogenic as well as ketogenic
(Isoleucine. Phenyl Alanine, Tyrosine and Tryptophan)
35-Name a specific test for the detection of alpha amino acids
(Ninhydrin test)
36-Name a specific test for the detection of cysteine
(Lead acetate test)

(ACTH, TRH, FSH, Glucagon, PTH, ADH, Oxytocin, Secretin, Pancreozymin, Cholecystokinin)
39-What is the effect on the biological activity of a protein when exposed to UV light ?
( It will lose its biological activity since it will be denatured)
40-Give two examples of protein misfolding causing disease?
( Prion’s and Alzheimer disease)
41-What is the class of casein ?
(Class 1- complete protein)
42-What are the forces that stabilize quaternary structure of a protein ?
(Mainly non covalent)
43-Which amino acid acts as the best buffer of the plasma?
(Histidine)
44-What will be the product of decarboxylation of Tyrosine?
(Tyramine)
45-Why can’t albumin and majority proteins acquire the native configuration upon denaturation?
(Chaperones and other proteins assisting proper folding are not there)
46-What are Beta bends?
(Short loops to turn the direction of the beta sheets?
