While testing amylase activity, john uses a buffer of ph 6 and substrate starch. he incubates them at 104ºf (40ºc). all the tubes show glucose formation, except one, which had no starch solution. why did this happen?

a) the optimum ph for the enzyme amylase is not ph 6.
b) the optimum temperature for the enzyme amylase is not 104°f (40°c)
c) the substrate for amylase, starch, is not present.

You have just sequenced a new protein found in mice and observe that sulfur-containing cysteine residues occur at regular intervals. what is the significance of this finding? it will be important to include cysteine in the diet of the mice. cysteine residues are required for the formation of α helices and β pleated sheets. cysteine residues are involved in disulfide bridges that form tertiary structure. cysteine causes bends, or angles, to occur in the tertiary structure of proteins.
