Question

1.) A dipeptide containing valine and lysine has a net charge of _____ at pH 7.0

a.) 0 b.) -1 c.) +1 d.) -2 e.) +2

2.) A fusion protein can be synthesized to carry a specific tag, which is useful in identifying the proteins in various experiments. Fusion proteins with the FLAG epitope bind to specific anti-FLAG antibodies and carry this extra sequence: Asp-Tyr-Lys-Asp-Asp-Asp-Asp-Lys. At a pH of 7.0 the amino acids that would be charged in FLAG are: (select all that apply)

Asp, Glu, Lys, Tyr

3.) A membrane glycoprotein

a.) Has a covalently attached carbohydrate

b.) Cannot interact with the cytoskeleton

c.) Undergoes rapid flip flop

d.) Is also known as a raft

4.) A peptide built from three amino acids must have

a.) Three side chains

b.) Three carboxylate groups

c.) Three amino groups

d.) Three peptide bonds

5.) A protein built from 12 identical polypeptide chains

a.) Is encoded by a single gene

b.) Can mutate 12 times faster than a protein with one chain

c.) Must be an extracellular protein

d.) Can carry out 12 discrete functions
