Sr. No. Proteins Physiological role (1) Collagen Provide tensile strength (2) Myosin & actin Responsible for muscle contraction (3) Immunoglobulin IgG Protect body against infection (4) Haemoglobin Significant in respiration (5) Fibrinogen Helps in blood clotting Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body that provides tensile strength to the connective tissues. Actin and Myosin are the muscle proteins that participate in the process of muscle contraction. Immunoglobulin IgG is an antibody that protects the body against infections. Haemoglobin is a conjugate protein that helps in carrying oxygen molecule during respiration. Fibrinogen participates in the coagulation of blood.

Answer the question with reference to the following figure. Name the type of bond formed between two polypeptides.

Polypeptides are formed by the polymerisation of amino acids. Two adjacent polypeptides are joined by disulphide bonds. A disulphide bond is established between the amino acids that contain sulphur in their chemical structure.

Answer the question with reference to the following figure. Which amino acid is involved in the formation of such a bond?

Cysteine is the amino acid that is involved in the formation of the disulphide bond. Cysteine is a non-essential amino acid that contains sulphur which participates in the formation of the disulphide bond.
