Some bacteria pump the drug out of the cell after it has entered, using translocases, often called _________ pumps, that expel drugs. Mycoplasmas do not have a cell wall containing peptidoglycan, thus they are resistant to penicillin since the drug interferes with peptidoglycan synthesis. This is an example of _________ resistance. Exposure to specific antibiotics is a ________ force that helps maintain the resistance gene in a population of bacteria. no word bank provided
Sphingosine 1-phophate (SPP) is important for cell survival. The synthesis of SPP from sphingosine and ATP is catalyzed by the enzyme sphingosine kinase. An understanding of the kinetics of the sphingosine kinase reaction may be important in the development of drugs to treat cancer. The velocity of the spingosine kinase reaction was measured inthe presence and absence of threo-sphingosine, a sterioisomer of sphingosine that inhibits the enzyme. The results are next. Contruct a lineweaver-Burk plot to answer the following questions:...
