<h2>Disulfide bonds interaction </h2>

Explanation:

The high concentration of urea causes unfolding of protein and thus results in loss of function of a protein. The urea interacts with the protein and prevents the folding of a protein.
During oxidation, the disulfide bonds that are required for proper functioning and stabilization of protein are formed, while in the presence of urea, the disulfide bonds are not positioned correctly. The protein oxidation results in covalent modification of a protein that results in the change of physical and chemical properties of a protein.
The change of physical and chemical properties of protein after oxidation and in the presence of urea cannot be modified even after the removal of urea. Thus, protein does not fold properly.
Hence the right answer is "disulfide bonds are not positioned correctly rather than week bonding interaction"

g Describe the structure of Hemoglobin. Does the binding of oxygen involve the direct interaction with the polypeptide chain

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

Hemoglobin is an iron-containing protein present in the blood that functions for transportation of oxygen to different body cells..

Each hemoglobin molecule have tetrahedral structure consist of four heme groups surrounded by a globin group. Heme, is composed of porphyrin (ringlike organic structure) which is attched to an iron atom. There are four iron atoms in each molecule of hemoglobin that binds with four oxygen atoms and globin carry two linked pair of polypeptide chain.

The oxygen reversibly binds with the polypeptide chain and the process called oxygenation.
