Regarding the primary structure of a protein:
I: The sequence of amino acids i.e., the positional information in a protein is called the primary structure of a protein.
II: A protein is imagined as a line, the left end represented by the first amino acid and the right end represented by the last amino acid.
III: The first amino acid is also called as C-terminal amino acid and the last amino acid is called the N-terminal amino acid.
1. Only I and II are correct
2. Only I and III are correct
3. Only II and III are correct
4. I, II and III are correct

In a polypeptide or a protein, amino acids are linked by a peptide bond which is formed:
I: when the carboxyl (-COOH) group of one amino acid reacts with the amino (-NH2) group of the next amino acid
II: with the elimination of a water moiety (the process is called dehydration)
1. Only I
2. Only II
3. Both I and II
4. Neither I nor II

Consider the two statements:
Statement I: Whether it is an exothermic or spontaneous reaction or an endothermic or energy requiring reaction, the ‘S’ has to go through a much higher energy state or transition state.
Statement II: Enzymes eventually bring down this energy barrier of activation energy making the transition of ‘S’ to ‘P’ more easy.

Which of the following will not be correct for the steps of the catalytic cycle of an enzyme action?
1. First, the substrate binds to the active site of the enzyme, fitting into the active site.
2. The binding of the substrate induces the enzyme to alter its shape, fitting more tightly
around the substrate.
3. The active site of the enzyme, now in close proximity of the substrate, breaks the chemical
bonds of the substrate and the new enzyme- product complex is formed.
4. The enzyme gets consumed in the reaction while releasing the product.
