Hello, I have a Biochemistry question.
I am currently learning about proteins (their structures, folding etc) and enzymes (competitive and noncompetitive inhibition etc)... Thanks so much!
Discussion Board Objectives:
Instructions: This discussion board has two parts.
Example:
Question: In an experiment, a valine is mutated to a glutamic acid in a transmembrane domain of a protein. What is the likely consequence of this single amino acid change?
Response: Based on information in unit 1, glutamic acid is a polar amino acid and the introduction of a charge into a hydrophobic environment (the membrane) would disrupt the membrane structure. This may also reduce the stability of the protein in the membrane environment. This has been shown in the following link which discusses amino acid changes in transmembrane domains of glycine to arginine
Question:- In a male , in addition to XY chromosome , the male carries an extra X chromosome in it , then what will be the outcome from this mutation on that person and Is the person with XXY chromosome normal? If normal or if not give reasons .

I posted this question before but no answer I need to submit in 4 hours, please help. Although the following scenario is hypothetical, it is based on actual facts. Sickle cell anemia is an inherited form of anemia. Those with sickle cell anemia do not have enough healthy red blood cells to adequately carry oxygen to all the cells in their body. Normal red blood cells are flexible and round, and can easily move through the blood vessels. However, in...
