Explanation / Answer

Question 1.

Proline is an amino acid which when present perturb the alpha-helix, due to which proline is present at the end of the chain. So among all the option a doesn't have proline so answer will be option a

Question 2.

Disulfide linkage is formed between two residues of Cysteine. If we look at all the option then we will find that only option D has two cysteines which make the only peptide in the given option. SO answer is option D

question 3. College protein has maximum proportion of Glycine, proline and hydroxyproline which generally present in glycine-proline-X w and glycine-X-hydroxyproline where X is any amino acid except the three amino acids mentioned.

By going through all given option only B fits in that criteria

So answer will be option B
