Hello everybody
I ran into this question:

Which of the following pairs of amino acids is expected to be found in the interior of a globular protien?
A.lysine and arginine
B. arginie and leucine
C. leucine and valine
D. valine and glutamic acid
E. glutamic acid and lysine

Can anybody please explain why "C" is the correct answer? and thanks in advance 🙂

thank u very much 🙂

which statement below concerning G-protien is true ?

1 G-protiens bound to GDP are inactive

2 activation of membrane receptor triggers an exchange of GDP for GTP on G-protiens

3 adenylate cyclase activates G-protiens and causes dissosciation between alpha and beta gamma subunits

4 cyclic AMP acivates G-protiens, leading to exchange of GDP for GTP

 

[bigtooth]

Well this looks a bit confusing because both - option 1 and 2 seem to be true.
A G-protein is bound to GDP in its inactive state and activation of the membrane receptor triggers an exchange of GDP for GTP making the G-protein active ( by activating the alpha subunit and causing its dissociation from the gamma and beta).

correct me if i'm wrong...

I agree with u ...both 1 and 2 looks correct....
this question was in the decks ...n they had given 1 as the right answer.....


probably it was one of thier badly edited pages
