Worked practice questions

Human insulin is built from two polypeptide chains joined by:

  1. Disulphide bridges
  2. Hydrophobic pockets
  3. Phosphate linkages
  4. Glycosidic linkages
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. Disulphide bridges

1. Insulin has a chain A and a chain B. 2. The two chains have to be held together. 3. Disulphide bridges make that link. _Source: syllabus Biology, Ch 10 'Biotechnology and its Applications'_

The extra stretch removed as pro-insulin matures is the:

  1. D peptide
  2. C peptide
  3. A peptide
  4. B peptide
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. C peptide

1. Insulin is first made as a pro-hormone. 2. The pro-hormone carries an extra stretch. 3. That stretch, the C peptide, is cut out on maturing. _Source: syllabus Biology, Ch 10 'Biotechnology and its Applications'_

Human insulin was first produced by recombinant means in:

  1. 1997
  2. 1990
  3. 1983
  4. 1963
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: C. 1983

1. An American company made the two chains separately. 2. It then joined them by creating disulphide bonds. 3. This was done in 1983. _Source: syllabus Biology, Ch 10 'Biotechnology and its Applications'_
