What is the mechanism of the Contactin-BIG-1
(a) You have found a new, enhanced version of the drug jafrasitor, (called jafrasitorplus) (molecular weight 600 grams/mol), that binds the histone deacetylase enzyme Sir2 with a dissociation constant KD = 0.03 nM. What mass of jafrasitorplus should be administered to a patient with a blood volume of 5.5 L such that Sir2 is at least 91% inhibited? Show your work and reasoning.
Can you check if A is correct and please help answer the following questions?
The ABO blood group antigens are the terminal sugars covalently linked to the end of the glycolipid in the red blood cellmembrane. The H antigen is the precursor of the A and Bantigens. Individuals with type A blood produce a gene thatcodes for an enzyme that adds N-acetylgalactosamine in ana(1,3) linkage to the Gal* residue in the H antigen. Type Bblood requires that an enzyme add a d-a galactose in an a(1,3) linkage to the Gal*. Draw the structures of the A andB antigens.

Consider the mechanism of the enzyme RNase:  What would happen to the Km (i.e., would it increase, decrease, or stay the same) if the his12 was mutated to a lysine? Explain.  What would happen to the Kcat (i.e., would it increase, decrease, or stay the same) if the his12 was mutated to a valine? Explain.

What is the purpose of the NaKATPase in a mammalian cell?
A very new Hemoglobin variant, called Hb simplex, has just been identified in patients with hypoxia (i.e. patients for whom the oxygenation of organs is not properly accomplished). However, this variant is able to bind dioxygen with a Kd which is significantly lower to that of Hemoglobin from normal patients. This effect has been associated with the substitution of a Lys by a Met at two distinct sites of the b subunit of Hemoglobin : one site close to the N-terminus, and the other site close to the C-terminus of the polypeptide chain. Most importantly, these 2 sites are known to be involved in the maintain of the physical interactions between the subunits a and b in Hemoglobin. 1) The aforementioned Hb simplex mutations lead to a loss of physical interactions between the subunits a and b. What type(s) of chemical bonds between the 2 subunits (i.e. covalent, electrostatic, ion-dipole, dipole-dipole, van der waals) would you hypothesize to be affected by these mutations? explain. 2)…
