The helical structure of protein is stabilised by
A
dipeptide bonds
B
hydrogen bonds
C
ether bonds
D
peptide bonds
Answer :
hydrogen bonds
The helical structure of protein is stabilised by hydrogen bonds between amide group of the same peptide chain. These bonds are formed by $$ - NH - $$ group of one unit and oxygen of carbonyl group of the other unit. It takes 3.6 amino acid to complete one tum of the helix to enable. Such $$H$$ - bonding and a 13 memberring is formed by $$H$$ - bonding. This $$H$$ - bonding is responsible for holding helix in a position.
192.
Secondary structure of protein refers to
A
sequence of amino acids in polypeptide chain
B
bonds between alternate polypeptide chains
C
folding patterns of polypeptide chain
D
bonding between $$NH_3^ + $$ and $$CO{O^ - }$$ of two peptides
Answer :
folding patterns of polypeptide chain
Secondary structure of protein refers to folding
patterns of polypeptide chains like $$\alpha $$ - helix and $$\beta $$ - pleated sheets.
193.
In fibrous proteins, polypeptide chains are held together by
A
van der Waals forces
B
electrostatic forces of attraction
C
hydrogen bonds
D
covalent bonds
Answer :
hydrogen bonds
Polypeptide chains in fibrous proteins are held together by disulphide and hydrogen bonds.
194.
Cellulose is a
A
hexapolysaccharide
B
pentapolysaccharide
C
tripolysaccharide
D
none of these
Answer :
none of these
Cellulose is a polysaccharide and consists of long chain of glucose units linked by $$\beta \left( {1 \to 4} \right)$$ bonds with each other.
195.
Thymine is
A
1-methyluracil
B
4-methyluracil
C
3-methyluracil
D
5-methyluracil
Answer :
5-methyluracil
Thymine, also known as 5-methyluracil, is a pyrimidine nucleobase. As the name implies, thymine may be derived by methylation of uracil at the 5th carbon.

198.
Which of the following is an acidic amino acid?
A
Glycine
B
Valine
C
Leucine
D
Glutamic acid
Answer :
Glutamic acid
Amino acids which contain one $$ - N{H_2}$$ group and two $$ - COOH$$ groups are called acidic amino acid.

The correct statement about the following disaccharide
A
ring (i) is pyranose with $$\alpha {\text{ - }}$$glycosidic linkage
B
ring (i) is furanose with $$\alpha {\text{ - }}$$glycosidic linkage
C
ring (ii) is pyranose with $$\alpha {\text{ - }}$$glycosidic linkage
D
ring (ii) is pyranose with $$\beta {\text{ - }}$$glycosidic linkage
Answer :
ring (i) is pyranose with $$\alpha {\text{ - }}$$glycosidic linkage
The disaccharide is sucrose, with ring (i) having 6-members and hence is a pyranose and ring (ii) has 5-members and hence is a furanose. $$C{\text{ - }}1$$ of ring (i) and $$C{\text{ - 2}}$$ of ring (ii) has an $$\alpha {\text{ - }}$$ glycosidic linkage.
