1. Which of these is NOT a characteristic of collagen?

  • No disulfide links, but contains modified crosslinks (covalent)
  • 2 polypeptide chains per molecule
  • Triple helix with 33% Gly, 11% Ala, 15-30% Pro and non-standard Pro variations
  • Left-handed helices form right-handed coil

2. In α-helices, there are former and breaker residues. What properties do formers have?

  • Small and hydrophobic
  • Large and hydrophilic
  • Small and hydrophilic
  • Large and hydrophobic

3. Where is the buffer capacity at its greatest?

  • pH = pKa
  • pH = -pKa
  • pH < pKa
  • pH > pKa

4. How do you calculate pI?

  • You add the closest 2 pKa values for each amino acid group
  • You add the closest 2 pKa values for each amino acid group and divide by 2
  • You add the furthest 2 pKa values for each amino acid group and divide by 2
  • You add the furthest 2 pKa values for each amino acid group

5. If a reaction is written as A + B ⇌ C + D, then how would Keq be written (the equilibrium constant)?

  • Keq = [A][D]/[B][C]
  • Keq = [C][D]/[A][B]
  • Keq = [A][C]/[B][D]
  • Keq = [A][B]/[C][D]
