 SECTION D

The following questions are case-based questions. Each question has an internal choice and
carries 4 (1+1+2) marks each. Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.

31. Proteins are the polymers of -amino acids and they are connected to each other by peptide
bond or peptide linkage. Chemically, peptide linkage is an amide formed between -COOH
group and -NH2 group. The reaction between two molecules of similar or different amino
acids , proceeds through the combination of the amino group of one molecule with the
carboxyl group of the other. This results in the elimination of a water molecule and
formation of a peptide bond -CO-NH -. The product of the reaction is called a dipeptide
because it is made up of two amino acids. For example, when carboxyl group of glycine
combines with the amino group of alanine we get a dipeptide, glycylalanine. If a third amino
acid combines to a dipeptide, the product is called a tripeptide. A tripeptide contains three
amino strengthening acids linked by two peptide linkages. Similarly, when four, five or six
amino acids are linked, the respective products are known as tetrapeptide, pentapeptide or
hexapeptide, respectively. When the number of such amino acids is more than ten, then the
products are called polypeptides. A polypeptide with more than hundred amino acid
residues, having molecular mass higher than 10,000u is called a protein. However, the
distinction between a polypeptide and a protein is not very sharp. Polypeptides with fewer
amino acids are likely to be called proteins if they ordinarily have a well-defined
conformation of a protein such as insulin which contains 51 amino acids. Proteins can be
classified into two types on the basis of their molecular shape.

Fibrous proteins
Globular proteins

a. Write zwitter ion structure of amino acid.
b. Which force/forces are responsible for a three dimensional structure of proteins.
c. Define denaturation of Proteins.
OR
Write differences between Fibrous and Globular proteins. Give one example of each
type.
32. When a solution does not obey Raoult’s law over the entire range of concentration, then it is
called non-ideal solution. The vapour pressure of such a solution is either higher or lower than that
predicted by Raoult’s law. If it is higher, the solution exhibits positive deviation and if it is lower, it
exhibits negative deviation from Raoult’s law.
The osmotic pressure of a solution is the excess pressure that must be applied to a solution to
prevent osmosis, i.e., to stop the passage of solvent molecules through a Semipermeable
7
membrane into the solution. Osmotic pressure is colligative property as it depends on the number
of solute molecules and not on their identity. For dilute solutions, it has been found experimentally
that osmotic pressure is proportional to the molarity, C of the Solution at a given temperature T.
Thus: π = CRT Here π is the osmotic pressure and R is the gas constant .
a) Define ideal solution.
b) What kind of deviation is found in solution of alcohol in water?
c) 200 cm3 of an aqueous solution of a protein contains 1.26 g of the protein. The osmotic
pressure of such a solution at 300 K is found to be 2.57 × 10-3 bar. Calculate the molar mass of the
protein.
