Test yourself: 3

This page contains a randomly selected series of exam questions that we have used in the past in real exams, and that you should be able to answer by now.

You find all these questions again in the ′Test-exams′ section, and in that section, you often also find the answers.

Exam questions used in the past:

1. Why is the capping effect by charged amino acids stronger at the N-terminal end than at the C-terminal end of a helix?
2. What is meant with primary-, secondary-, tertiary- and quaternary structure of proteins?
3. Your newly discovered sequence contains the PROSITE pattern [S,T],{P},[K,R],{P} What should you do before you publish this pattern?
4. Draw a sequence of 14 amino acids of which the middle ten are perfectly helical and the outer two at both ends not.
5. What do you think of the sequence VTVTGPVTVT?

These questions are also available as a .doc file from the Excercise Files.
