Did you know?
Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe, making up ~75% of all matter.
Given below are two statements: Statement I: A protein is imagined as a line, the left end represented by first amino acid (C-terminal) and the right end represented by last amino acid (N-terminal). Statement II: Adult human haemoglobin consists of 4 subunits (two subunits of α type and two subunits of β type). Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Both Statement I and Statement II are true.
Both Statement I and Statement II are false.
Statement I is true but Statement II is false.
Statement I is false but Statement II is true.
To solve this problem, we need to analyze the given statements:Statement I: - Proteins are linear polymers of amino acids. The convention is to represent the N-terminal (amino end) on the left and the C-terminal (carboxyl end) on the right. - Therefore, Statement I is incorrect as it reverses the conventional representation.Statement II: - Adult human hemoglobin is a tetramer consisting of two alpha (α) and two beta (β) subunits.
