1. BPG [2,3-Bisphosphoglyceric acid or 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate]
2. A rightward shift implies that the hemoglobin under study has a decreased affinity for oxygen. It is more difficult for hemoglobin to bind to oxygen (requiring a higher partial pressure of oxygen to achieve the same oxygen saturation). However, it is easier for the hemoglobin to release oxygen bound to it.
3. Previous analyses have shown that the low oxygen affinity is due to the possible disruption of salt bridges between aspartic acid and lysines. These changes that may lead to steric interference in oxygen binding by changing the β‐chain structure.
4. NaCL suppresses the effects of Lys Asp mutation
The observation that oxygen binding properties of both mutant and wild type haemoglobin are same, irrespective of pH concentration or presence or absence of BPG, implies that NaCL decreases the oxygen affinity of haemoglobin such that both of the aforementioned factors have no significant effect anymore
C. At 1M Nacl, it was discovered that the oxygen binding properties of both mutant and...
1. According to the paper, what does lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) do and what does it allow to happen within the myofiber? (5 points) 2. According to the paper, what is the major disadvantage of relying on glycolysis during high-intensity exercise? (5 points) 3. Using Figure 1 in the paper, briefly describe the different sources of ATP production at 50% versus 90% AND explain whether you believe this depiction of ATP production applies to a Type IIX myofiber in a human....
