(C) Conversion from the enol to the keto form of pyruvate. (D) Strong bond energy along with a change in the stereochemistry of the molecule. (E) The large AGo of the phosphoester bond.

2. Which of the following statements regarding ATP is true? (A) the energy of hydrolysis is the same for all of the phosphate groups of the molecule (B) despite the very exergonic nature of the hydrolysis, ATP does not hydrolyze spontaneously due to a very high activation energy (C) the AG of hydrolysis within the cell is substantially greater than the AGo' due to a higher concentration of ATP with respect to ADP (D) electrostatic attraction of the phosphate groups contributes to a more exergonic free energy (E) both b and c are correct

(B) share little sequence homology with other proteins with similar function (e.g., myoglobin). (C) share a significant degree of sequence similarity. (D) perform the same function in different organisms. (E) have sequence identity in direct correlation to the relatedness of the species from which they were derived.

6. All of the statements about the peptide val-asp-trp-asn-ser are correct EXCEPT: (A) This peptide would show a strong absorption band at 280 nm.
