Protein Folding Quiz | Protein Folding Objective Type Questions & Answers

Questions
21 Experiments on denaturation and renaturation after the reduction andreoxidation of the —S—S— bonds in the enzyme ribonuclease (RNase) have shown that:
A folding of denatured RNase into the native, active conformation, requires the input of energy in the form of heat.
B native ribonuclease does not have a unique secondary and tertiary structure.
C the completely unfolded enzyme, with all —S—S— bonds broken, is still enzymatically active.
D the primary sequence of RNase is sufficient to determine its specific secondary and tertiary structure.

Answer: the primary sequence of RNase is sufficient to determine its specific secondary and tertiary structure.
22 Which of the following is not known to be involved in the process of assisted folding of proteins?
A Peptide bond hydrolysis
B Heat shock proteins
C Disulfide interchange
D Chaperonins

Answer: Peptide bond hydrolysis
23 Protein S will fold into its native conformation only when protein Q is also present in the solution. However, protein Q can fold into its native conformation without protein S. Protein Q, therefore, may function as a ---------- for protein S.
A ligand
B molecular chaperone
C protein precursor
D structural motif

Answer: molecular chaperone
24 Which of the following statements concerning the process of spontaneous folding of proteins is false?
A It may be an essentially random process.
B It may be defective in some human diseases.
C It may involve a gradually decreasing range of conformational species.
D It may involve initial formation of a highly compact state.

Answer: It may be an essentially random process.
25 Chaperone proteins function by
A providing a protective environment in which proteins can fold properly
B degrading proteins that have folded improperly
C providing a template for how the proteins should fold
D rescuing proteins that folded incorrectly and allowing them to refold into proper configuration

Answer: rescuing proteins that folded incorrectly and allowing them to refold into proper configuration
26 Which of the following is least likely to result in protein denaturation?
A Altering net charge by changing pH
B Changing the salt concentration
C Disruption of weak interactions by boiling
D Exposure to detergents

Answer: Changing the salt concentration
27 An average protein will not be denatured by:

C iodoacetic acid.
D pH 10.

Answer: heating to 90°C.
28 PDI is an enzyme involve in
A Protein synthesis
