Is DNA a protein if so what makes up proteins, if not what it is and what are its monomers called? Describe the primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structure of DNA (this sub-question is independent of the answer to the first question).
Describe electrostatic bonds, covalent bonds, van der Waals interactions, and hydrogen bonds and give an example of each.
Which of the four classes of amino acids has side chains with the greatest hydrogen-bond-forming potential?
Which has the greatest potential to form electrostatic interactions?
Which class has the greatest potential for hydrophobic interactions?
Of the following amino acids, (K), (Y), and (F), which side-chains would you expect to be the most soluble in a polar aqueous solution? Which the least?
Would you agree with the statement that many different amino acid sequences can fold into the same basic tertiary structure? What data can you cite as evidence for your position?
