bisphosphoglycerate (BPG)
Domains are common structural elements that retain a particular function
within the protein. Which of the following is an example of a protein
domain?

connected by α-helixes
A 22-year-old female is diagnosed with acute pancreatitis. Elevation of
which of the following serum enzymes would be consistent with this
diagnosis?

Movement of ammonia from an amino acid to an alpha-keto acid involves a
family of enzymes best categorized as:
a) transferases
b) ligases
