(B) it takes place in the mitochondrion. (C) the reoxidation of NADH and FADH2 leads to the production of considerable quantities of ATP. (D) it consumes H2O molecule. (E) the NADH and FADH2 produced are reoxidized in the electron transport chain linked to oxygen.

28. PNGase F is the most effective enzyme for removing N-linked oligosaccharides from glycoproteins/glycopeptides. The glycan removal is accompanied by deamidation of the asparagine side-chain to which the N-linked oligosaccharides are attached. Which of the following statements is false about the target protein after PNGase F treatment? (A) The molecular weight of the target protein will be reduced. (B) The extinction coefficient at 280 nm of the target protein will be unchanged. (C) The primary structure of the target protein will be the same. (D) The target protein will gain additional aspartic acid residues. (E) The isoelectric point of the target protein will be reduced.

29. Which of the following statements about the Bohr effect regarding hemoglobin's oxygen binding capacity is false? (A) Hemoglobin's oxygen binding affinity is inversely proportional to the acidity of the blood (B) Hemoglobin's oxygen binding affinity is inversely proportional to the concentration of carbon dioxide in the blood (C) Carbonic anhydrase helps increase the concentration of carbonate in the blood.
