Which of the following is NOT true of protein quaternary structure?

1 answer:

3 0

The choices for this question can be found elsewhere and as follows:

A. A single polypeptide may have quaternary structure.
B. Hydrogen bonds may hold the polypeptides in contact.
C. A quaternary protein cannot have fewer than two carboxyl groups.

I think the correct answer from the choices is option A. The statement a single polypeptide may have quaternary structure is not true.

4. Consider the following half-reactions: MnO4–(aq) + 8H+(aq) + 5e– → Mn+2(aq) + 4H2O(l) NO3–(aq) + 4H+(aq) + 3e– → NO(g) + 2H2O

Explanation:

The chemical reaction given in the question is as follows -

MnO₄⁻ (aq) + 8H⁺ (aq) + 5e⁻ → Mn²⁺ (aq) + 4H₂O (l)

NO₃⁻ (aq) + 4H⁺ (aq) + 3e⁻ → NO (g) + 2H₂O (l)

As we know , the value for reduction potential are -

Mn²⁺ = + 1.51 V

NO₃⁻ = +0.96 V

From , the data given above , the value of the reduction potential of NO₃⁻ is less than the reduction potential of Mn²⁺ .

Hence ,
