Which of the following are true statements about proteins ?

Question

a) The shape and function of a protein is determined by the sequence of amino acids along the chain

b) The sequence of amino acids that make up a protein are known as the tertiary structure of the protein

c) Although proteins are long and complex, they have a regular structure that results from hydrogen bondng

d) The primary structure of different protein molecules is created by hydrogen bonds between
an amine group on one molecule and a lone pair of electrons on an oxygen molecule in an adjacent protein

e) One type of tertiary structure found in proteins is α-helix

f) The structrure of a protein that results from only hydrogen bonding between the side
chains of the different amino acids is called the tertiary structure

Answer 1

a) True
b) False--The sequence of amino acids is the primary structure
c) Not sure about that one
d) False--Peptide bonds
e) False--alpha helix is a type of secondary structure
f) Well, tertiary structure does involved hydrogen bonds between amino acid side chains, but it also involves other interactions, so I'm not sure here, either.
