Which proteins are generally water-soluble?
In a globular protein, the amino acid chain can twist in a way that polar groups lie at the protein's surface. This allows the protein to interact with water and enhances the protein's solubility in water. This does not occur in fibrous proteins, so fibrous proteins are insoluble in water.

Which of the following is false about actin filaments?
Actin chain growth occurs at the (+) end of the chain, and nucleotide hydrolysis promotes dissociation of actin chains. 2 microfilaments of G-actin monomers make 1 filament of F-actin. However, actin filament assembly is powered by ATP, not GTP.

An O-linked glycoprotein has a sugar attached to an oxygen atom on what amino acid(s)?
An O-linked glycoprotein is a protein that has a sugar attached to it. It is called O-linked because the sugar is attached to an oxygen atom on either a threonine residue or a serine residue within the protein.
