1. Indicate "True" or "False" of the following:

2- The proteins act as the defense against infections by means of protein antibodies. (True)

5. The proteins are involved in blood clotting (True)

6. Taurine is an amino acid but not a constituent of protein; therefore it is not present in
the classification of amino acids (True)

7. Polypeptide is formed from more than 2 amino acids while oligopeptides is formed of more
than 10 amino acids. (False)

8. Peptides are raising prolactin hormone especially in females. (True)

9. Amino acids with hydrophobic side chains or most often found buried in the interior
of folded proteins. (True)

14. Ninhydrin is a powerful oxidizing agent. (True)

15. The free amino acids after hydrolysis of peptides are separated and identify
by chromatography or by electrophoresis. (True)

21- Hexarelin peptide has a pretty healing potential. ()

22- Twenty four amino acids are commonly used in protein synthesis. (False)

23- Amino acids are ampholytes because they can function as either a standard or
a nonstandard monomer in proteins. (False)

24- D-amino acid are also present in protein. (False)

25- 34- All hormones are proteins. (False)

3- Conversion of amino acids into keto acids and ammonia is called

a) Amination b) deamination

5.....................involves the removal of amino group as ammonia from amino acid while
……………….. involves transfer of amino group from one amino acid to alpha keto acid to form a
new amino acid.

a) Deamination, transamination b) transamination, deamination

6- The process of transfer of amino group from one amino acid to the keto group of a keto acid
is called as

a) Oxidative amination b) reductive amination c) transamination d)

deamination

9- One of the following is a neutral amino acid

a) Arginine b) Glycine c) Glutamic acid d) Aspartic acid
13- Which of the following amino acid act as inhibitory neurotransmitter?

a) Glycine b) Alanine c) GABA d) All

15- Which of the following amino acid act as inhibitory neurotransmitter?

a) Glutamate b) Aspartate c) cysteine d) all

16- Blood protein which initiates blood coagulation is

a) Prothrombin b) Thrombin c) Fibrinogen d) Fibrin

17- Amino acids are mostly synthesized from

a) Fatty acids b) mineral salts c) α-ketoglutaric acid d) volatile acids

18- The first amino acid of any polypeptide chain in eukaryotes is

a) Valine b) methionine c) glycine d) alanine

Amino acids with hydrophobic r groups are most often found buried in the

interior of folded proteins

a) True b) false

Note

Hydrophobicity is the aversion to the water of a molecule (or part of it). Amino acids with a
hydrophobic R group (glycine, alanine, valine, leucine, isoleucine, proline, phenylalanine,
methionine, and tryptophan) will fold with the R groups in the interior to avoid water. This
behavior is one of the most important forces in protein folding. You can see it exemplified in the
image I added.

23- The milk protein in the stomach of the infants is digested by

a) Pepsin b) Trypsin c) Chymotrypsin d) Rennin

35- Which of the following statements about cystine is correct?

a) Cystine forms when the —CH2—SH R group is oxidized to form a —CH2—S—S—CH2—

disulfide bridge between two cysteines.
b) Cystine is an example of a nonstandard amino acid, derived by linking two standard
amino acids.
c) Cystine is formed by the oxidation of the carboxylic acid group on cysteine.
d) Cystine is formed through a peptide linkage between two cysteines.

36- Which of the following amino acid is the precursor of dopamine?

a) Glycine b) aspartate c) valine d) tyrosine

Oxidative deamination

a) Transfer α-amino group from amino acid to α-keto acid

b) Remove α-amino group and form α-keto acid
