15). Amino acid T has a polar side chain. (True ) (False)
16). Amino acid V has a polar side chain. (True ) (False)

Explanation / Answer

1) True. "Y" refers to tyrosine, which can be acted upon by tyrosine kinases.

2) True - would help to know more specifics on the 'target' in question though.

3) True - flippases function to promote the flip-flop motion of a phospholipid.

4) False - wouldn't say "rarely"

5) True - a symport by definition moves two substances in the same direction, so if you flipped it the two substances would both be moved in the opposite direction.

6) True

7) False - that's transcription

8) False - that's translation

9) False - peptide bonds are a form of dehydration reaction (ie loss of H2O) in proteins not amino acids. They produce a C---N covalent bond; secondary, tertiary, and quaternary interactions include non-covalent components

10) False - a disulfide bond/bridge is a form of tertiary interaction between the sulfa (SH-) groups of cysteine peptides in a protein chain, not DNA.

11) True - these are membrane spanning components of a transmembrane protein

12) True - a hydrogen bond is an intermolecular attractive force which is part of the secondary protein conformation

13) True - E = glutamic acid (polar)

14) True - F = tyrosine (polar)

15) True - T = threonine (polar)

16) False - V = Valine (nonpolar)
