C785 Unit 2 Quiz 2022

Document Content and Description Below

Question 1 of 12 Which level of protein structure is disrupted through the hydrolysis of peptide bonds? Primary Quaternary Secondary Tertiary Question 2 of 12 A mutation in the beta-hemoglobin ... gene, which results in the replacement of the amino acid glutamate in position 6 with the amino acid valine, leads to the development of sickle cell anemia. The structures of glutamate and valine are shown below. If the beta hemoglobin gene in a patient with sickle-cell anemia were to be edited so that the valine in position 6 was replaced with a different amino acid, which replacement for valine would be expected to have the best clinical outcome, in theory, for the patient? (Assume the valine can potentially be replaced with any amino acid other than glutamate.) Question 3 of 12 Secondary, tertiary, and quaternary levels of protein structure can all be impacted by exposing a protein to which treatment? Addition of a reducing agent Change of a hydrophobic amino acid to a different hydrophobic amino acid Placement of the protein in a solution with a low pH Increase in the concentration of the protein in solution CONTINUED.......
