Amino acids exhibit amphoteric behavior as:
1. They can act both as an acid and as a base.
2. They can act only as an acid but not as a base.
3. They can act only as a base but not an acid.
4. None of the above.
1. | β -glycosidic bond | 2. | Peptide bond |
3. | Dative bond | 4. | α -glycosidic bond |
A linkage present in proteins and peptides is:
1. | 2. | ||
3. | 4. |
An optically inactive amino acid is-

α-helix structure of proteins is stabilized by :
1. | H-bonds formed between the −SH and C=O group. |
2. | H-bonds formed between the −NH and C=O group. |
3. | Ionic bonds formed between the −SH and C=O group. |
4. | Ionic bonds formed between the −NH and C=O group. |
An insoluble biomolecule in water is-
1. | -keratin | 2. | Haemoglobin |
3. | Ribonuclease | 4. | Adenine |
The denaturation of proteins indicates:
1. | The primary structure of a protein is destroyed and the enzyme loses it's activity. |
2. | The primary structure of a protein is destroyed and the enzyme enhances it's activity. |
3. | The secondary and tertiary structures of a protein are destroyed and the enzyme loses it's activity. |
4. | The secondary and tertiary structures of a protein are destroyed and the enzyme enhances it's activity. |
The helical structure of a protein is stabilized by:
1. | Hydrogen bonds | 2. | Ether bonds |
3. | Peptide bonds | 4. | Dipeptide bonds |
In humans, the main oxygen carrier in the blood is -
