4.

How many different amino acids are found in proteins ?

  30

  20

  infinite

  27

  Half-n-half Clue
 

5.

Each protein has a particular 3D structure which is decided by its:

  primary structure

  tertiary structure

  secondary structure

  Half-n-half Clue
 

6.

Which of the following is not an aromatic amino acid ?

  Serine

  Half-n-half Clue
 

7.

The Quaternary structure of a protein is :

  its structure resulting from hydrogen bonds between the C=O and N-H groups of different amino acids.

  its structure resulting from the union of more than one protein molecule, called subunit proteins.

  its amino acid sequence

  its structure resulting from interactions between amino acid side chains.
