Question
Chemistry Question on Proteins
Read the statements regarding muscle proteins. i. Actin is a thin filament and is made up of two F-actins, ii. The complex protein, tropomyosin is distributed at regular intervals on the troponin iii. Myosin is a thick filament which is also a polymerized protein iv. The globular head of meromyosin consists of light meromyosin (LMM)
A
i, ii and iii are correct
B
i, ii and iv are correct
C
i and iii are correct
D
ii and iv are correct
Answer
i and iii are correct
Explanation
Solution
Tropomyosin is a double stranded a helical rod. It is fibrous molecule that attaches to F actin in the groove between its filament. The globular head of meromyosin consists of heavy meromyosin (HMM).
