Question

20.

Four tripeptide mixtures (I-IV) are separated at pH6.0 using one-dimensional high voltage paper electrophoresis

I pro-asp-thr

II lys-ala-val

III tyr-gly-his

IV glu-phe-arg

The predicted order of separation of the peptides, listing first the peptide migrating the closest to the cathode (negative electrode) and last the peptide migrating closest to the anode, is

III,II,I, IV

II, III, IV, I

III, IV, II, I

I, III, II, IV

II, IV, I, III

21.

Synthesis of biomolecules

A and C

A, B, and C

22.

Coenzymes that are required by the pyruvate dehydrogenase multienzyme complex are

biotin, CoA, NAD+, pyridoxal phosphate and lipoic acid

thiamine pyrophosphate, tetrahydrofolate, lipoic acid, FAD and CoA

thiamine pyrophosphate, lipoic acid, FAD, CoA and NAD+

FAD, CoA, NAD+, pyrodoxal phosphate and tetrahydrofolate

lipoic acid, FAD, CoA NAD+ and cobalamin

23.

Which of the following conditions will activate pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase, which catalyzes the phorphorylation and inactivation of E1 in the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex?

Elevated concentrations of NADH and ATP

Elevated concentrations of NAD+ and ADP

Ca2+

Insulin

Elevated concentrations of acetyl-CoA

24.

Multifunctional protein kinases

carry out phosphorylation as well as sulfation reactions.

can modify several different targets.

conserve energy in the form of ATP from the degradation of proteins.

All of the above.

None of the above.

III,II,I, IV

II, III, IV, I

III, IV, II, I

I, III, II, IV

II, IV, I, III

Explanation / Answer

20). B.

II, III, IV, I

I pro-asp-thr ------> Charge at pH 6 is, -0.98

II lys-ala-val ----> Charge at pH 6 is, +0.99

III tyr-gly-his ----> Charge at pH 6 is, +0.75

IV glu-phe-arg ---> Charge at pH 6 is, +0.02

As the positively charged molecule move toward the negative electrode, the peptide migrating the closest to the cathode (negative electrode) and last the peptide migrating closest to the anode, is II, III, IV and I.

II, III, IV, I
