Question
Chapter 10, Problem 10.41AP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The dissolution of given weak base in water should be discussed.
Concept Introduction:
Strong Base: Bases that has strong attraction towards protons and accepts readily. Strong base forms weaker conjugated acid.
Weak Base: Bases that has little affinity towards protons. Weak base forms stronger conjugated acid.
If a base receives one proton, then the formed species is a conjugate acid whereas an acid lose one proton, then the formed species is a conjugated base.

Why did the authors worry about the temperature-dependent solubility of the carriers in thebilayer? How did the authors determine whether the effect of freezing the lipid bilayer wasto decrease the solubility of the carriers (nonactin and valinomycin) or whether the effectwas to impair their ability to diffuse through the membrane (decrease their mobility)?

- Electrophoresis Macmillan Learning Chymotrypsin is a protease with a molecular mass of 25.6 kDa. The figure shows a stained SDS polyacrylamide gel with a single band in lane I and three bands of lower molecular weight in lane 2. Lane I contains a preparation of chymotrypsin and lane 2 contains chymotrypsin pre-treated with performic acid. 1 2 Why does performic acid treatment of chymotrypsin generate three bands in lane 2? ° Chymotrypsin self-digests on the carboxyl-terminal side of phenylalanine, tryptophan, or tyrosine residues. The three peptides are impurities in the original chymotrypsin sample. Performic acid cleaves proteins on the carboxyl-terminal side of lysine and arginine residues. Performic acid cleaves the disulfide bonds holding together the three subunits of chymotrypsin. Correct Answerarrow_forwardExtracts from the bacterium Bacillus brevis contain a peptide with antibiotic properties. This peptide forms complexes with metal ions and seems to disrupt ion transport across the cell membranes of other bacterial species, leading to bacterial death.

Please be detailedarrow_forwardWhen sodium ions enter a neuron during depolarization, they trigger the opening of additional voltage-gated sodium channels nearby, creating a positive feedback loop where the influx of sodium ions further depolarizes the membrane, causing even more sodium channels to open and allowing more sodium ions to enter the cell, thus sustaining the depolarization process until the action potential peaks. But how and why exactly does the influx of sodium ions trigger more sodium channels to let in more sodium?
