imagine that you are running a sample on the HPLC that is comprised of aspartate and isoleucine. Which amino acid will elute (come off of) the column first? Why?
RTKs are receptors made of an extracellular ligand binding domain and an intracellular kinase domain (see image). Insulin binds to its RTK Insulin receptor, causing an increase in glucose absorption and storage in liver cells. EGF binds to its own RTK, EGFR and promotes cell growth through the Ras pathway. a) Explain why the same type of tyrosine kinase in two RTKs can lead to very different cellular responses. Give an example of potential cellular outputs for each of these two RTKs.
The G-protein Ras is involved in proliferative signaling, and is mutated is a large fraction of human cancers. Almost all mutations in Ras mutate the glycine at codon 12. These mutations lock Ras in an active conformation. How will the GTPase activity of a Ras protein with a G12 mutation compare to a normal Ras protein without the mutation? (10 words maximum)

A cellular response occurs when a signal transduction pathway is activated in animals. Explain two forms of cellular responses that may arise as a result of paracrine or endocrine signaling.
3) The “Met" receptor is a membrane receptor protein responsible for initiating signal transduction pathways that cause cells to divide, among other things. After the Met receptor has been stimulated by its specific growth factor, another protein called c- Cbl will bind to the Met receptor. C-Cbl will then attach a chain of small proteins called ubiquitin to the Met receptor. These chains of ubiquitin help the cell recognize that the Met receptor should undergo receptor-mediated endocytosis, which eventually leads to the destruction of the Met receptor. Circle any answer or answers that include mutations that could cause the cell to potentially become a cancer cell. A) a mutation causing there to be too much ubiquitin protein produced. B) a mutation causing c-Cbl to be inactivated. C) a mutation causing ubiquitin to be inactivated. D) a mutation causing there to be too few Met receptors produced. E) a mutation causing the Met receptor to no longer be able to bind to its growth factor.…

Insulin is a hormone that regulates the concentration of glucose in the circulatory system by activating signal transduction pathways that increase the intake of blood into cells. Individuals with type 1 diabetes are unable to produce insulin, and are therefore unable to effectively regulate their blood-glucose concentration. Which of the following best explains how a medication that triggers the addition of insulin receptors on cells will affect the intake of the insulin signaling pathway in individuals with type 1 diabetes? A B с D The medication will effectively activate the signaling pathway because insulin levels will return to normal. The medication will effectively activate the signaling pathway because the addition of in- sulin receptors will increase insulin synthesis. The medication will have no effect on the signaling pathway because the receptors will not be activated in the absence of insulin. The medication will have little or no effect on the signaling pathway because…
