<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"

A prophage is a bacteriophage (often shortened to "phage") genome inserted and integrated into the circular bacterial DNA chromosome or exists as an extrachromosomal plasmid. This is a latent form of a phage, in which the viral genes are present in the bacterium without causing disruption of the bacterial cell.

In proteins, amino acids are linked by peptide bonds; in polynucleotides, nucleotides are linked by ________.
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer: Phosphodiester bond

Explanation:

The backbone of DNA consists of deoxyribose nucleotides linked by phosphodiester bridges.

The 3'-hydroxyl of the adjacent sugar of one deoxyribonucleotide is joined to the 5'-hydroxyl of the adjacent sugar by an internucleotide linkage called a phosphodiester bond.

Thus, phosphodiester bond is the answer
