Scientists continually work to better understand human diseases. Knowledge of the human genome enables them to better understand the proteins involved. How does analyzing human genomes help scientists in this endeavor? a) Chromosomes join together to make proteins.
b) The bases that make up DNA are also present in RNA
c) DNA contains the information used to make proteins.
d) Nucleic acid molecules have shapes similar to those of proteins.

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.
