BIS 2A 2023 What are proteins made of? - CORRECT ANSWER-Proteins are made up of amino acids linked together by peptide bonds, as well as the R groups attached to the amino acids (which make them unique and give certain characteristics) Proteins are formed through the process of condensation, when the carboxylic group and the amine group of the amino acids bind together to produce water, forming a peptide bond. How the various levels of organization (primary, secondary...) affect the s...

BIS 2A MIDTERM 2 2023/2024 On early Earth, the first things that looked like they might be classified as living organisms used iron sulfur clusters as catalysts. If these "naked" iron sulfur clusters can catalyze reactions, why do our cells instead use proteins carrying iron sulfur clusters as catalysts? a. To decrease substrate specificity b. To increase substrate specificity c. To prevent spontaneous oxidation of the iron in the cluster d. a and c e. b and c - CORRECT ANSWER-e. ...
