A protein exists in two forms that differ only in their folded shapes. Form A is found in normal brain tissue and performs normal cellular processes. Form B is found in animals with certain brain diseases and is thought to play a
causative role in these diseases. Form B is infectious, meaning that when it is introduced to normal brain tissue, it can
cause Form A to be converted to Form B, thereby increasing the amount of the disease form.
Based on this information and your knowledge about biology, select true or false for each of the following
statements.
True
False
Form A and Form B must be expressed from two different genes.
в
я
Form A and Form B folding are determined entirely by their amino acid sequences.
Form A likely functions differently than Form B because they have different shapes.
Form A to Form B conversion likely requires a change in Form A's amino acid sequence.

Match the descriptions / definitions with the term they best describe 1. three dimensional relationship of the different polypeptide chains in a multisubunit protein or protein complex 2. common folding pattern in proteins in which a linear sequence of amino acids folds into a right-handed coil stabilized by internal hydrogen-bonding between polypeptide backbone atoms. 3. the amino acid sequence of a protein 4. a region on the surface of a protein that can interact with another molecule through noncovalent bonding. 5. three-dimensional arrangement of alpha-helices and beta-sheets within a single polypeptide, typically stabilized by a variety of noncovalent bonds, including ionic and hydrogen bonds, and nonpolar interactions / hydrophobic force. 6. the chain of repeating carbon and nitrogen atoms, linked by peptide bonds, in a protein. 7. common structural motif in proteins in which different sections of the polypeptide chain run alongside each other and are joined together by hydrogen bonding between atoms of the polypeptide backbone. 8. portion of a polypeptide chain that has a discrete tertiary structure of its own and can often fold independently of the rest of the chain 9. regular local folding patterns in a protein, including alpha-helix and beta-sheet a. primary structure b. beta-sheet c. protein d. coiled-coil e. polypeptide backbone f. secondary structure g. side chain h. tertiary structure i. binding site j. alpha-helix k. quaternary structure l. protein domain
