Solution

Question 29:
(c) One-letter.Amino acids are represented by a single upper case letter or a three-letter abbreviation. For example, valine is known by the letter V or the three-letter symbol val.

Question 30:
(b) Allosteric effectors.Molecules that influence protein activity by binding to sites that are distinct from the functional or active sites are called allosteric effectors.

Question 31:
(a)Ion exchange chromatography. Ion-exchange chromatography uses electrostatic interactions between the protein and the solid matrix to fractionate proteins.

Question 32:
(d)One.Sickle hemoglobin differs from normal hemoglobin by a single amino acid: valine replaces glutamate at position 6 on the surface of the beta chain. ... In a sickled red blood cell, valine 6 (beta chain) binds to a different hydrophobic patch.
