Let’s ạssume thạt ạ mutạtion in E1 of pyruvạte dehydrogenạse cạuses it to weạkly bind its prosthetic group. How might someone with this genetic mutạtion be ạble to compensạte with diet? Explạin.
Homework Answers
The E1 subunit of pyruvate dehydrogenase contains a thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP) binding site that binds to the TPP which is the prosthetic group and mutation causes it to bind weakly to this prosthetic group.So, functioning of the enzyme is affected and nutrients in food cannot be broken down properly to release energy resulting in accumulation of lactic acid which is threatening causing neurological problems.Therefore, people with this mutation in PDC should include dietary supplementation with carnitine, thiamine, and lipoic acid.

2. Myoglobin (Mb) is one of the most thoroughly studied and best understood proteins. It serves as a model for ligand binding by proteins. Mb is an example of a hemoprotein (a heme containing protein or heme protein) and its ligand is molecular oxygen (O2) which is essential for the survival of aerobic organisms. a. How does an organism benefit from having a protein bind O2? b. Where, specifically, does the ligand bind in Mb? c. Is the heme bound...

When neurotransmitters bind to metabotropic receptors, they bind to the _________ of the receptor, causing the receptor to change shape, which is the first step in an intracellular signaling cascade. One essential neurotransmitter, acetylcholine, can generally exert excitatory effects when binding to its ionotropic receptors but can have either excitatory or inhibitory effects when binding to _____________ receptors. When neurotransmitters like acetylcholine bind to _________ receptors they let ions (e.g. Na+, Cl-) into the neuron directly through that channel they...

Let’s assume that you have devised a full-proof selection and training process for your employees. Would this make employee termination completely unnecessary? Who would be to blame if termination was needed (keep in mind your selection process is “full-proof”), and how would you determine when to fire someone?

Let’s say we become genetic science geniuses, and we learn how to make super-delicious, superfood blueberries. Given our first crop produces 412 high-nutrition blueberries and 135 low-nutrition blueberries, use a 5% level of significance to test if more than 70% of our berries are high-nutrition. (Demonstrate all 5 hypothesis testing steps, with p-values, critical values, and confidence intervals.)

4. You have a protein that needs to bind ATP to be functional and has a KD for ATP of 10 μM. In you experiment your protein concentration is much less than that of ATP, and your final ATP concentration is 30 μM. A) What fraction of the protein is functional? Show your work. B) Suppose that you have a fluorescent ATP analog that can bind and activate your proteins that becomes quenched when it binds. Why would fluorescence change...

Lux Autocorp is a company specialized in the production of luxury vehicles. Let’s assume its total cost of producing 4 cars is $450,000 and its total cost of producing 5 cars is $500,000. a) What is the average total cost of producing 4 cars? b) What is the marginal cost of the fifth car?

Let’s start again with the station not rotating, and back to its
original size, with the rod again at 915 meters long. This time, we
would like to get the station rotating at a rate of 0.09 rad/s, but
now about an axis that passes straight down the length of the rod.
We will accomplish this by placing a pair of rocket engines as
shown, each again with a thrust of 2.8X10-6 N, on one of the
spherical end modules....

Ammonia, NH3, is a weak base because a proton can readily bind to the lone pair on the nitrogen to produce the ammonium ion, NH4+. Organic compounds that contain nitrogen are also weak bases for the same reason. Amines are compounds derived from ammonia in which one or more of the hydrogens are replaced by a carbon-containing group (R). The simplest amine is methylamine in which is a "methyl" group, CH3. Its kb is 4.4 X 10-4. Write the balanced...
