Chapter 11, Problem 1P
Summary Introduction

To analyze: The way to use the given experimental apparatus to determine the average area occupied by a single lipid molecule in the monolayer.

Introduction:

Lipid is defined as a biomolecule which helps to store and provide energy. It is one of the main constituent of plasma membrane as it is made of lipid bilayer. It also serves as basic building for several hormones and bile acids.

Expert Solution & Answer

Explanation of Solution

Explanation:

Single lipid molecule occupies the average area in the monolayer which could be calculated by dividing the surface area of the water at which the pressure raises sharply by the number of lipid molecules on the surface. The number of lipid molecules present on the surface can be calculated by multiplying the number of moles by the Avogadro’s number.

what are the different classes and some examples of neuroprotectants that can be used to treat, prevent, or combat neurotoxicity/a neurotoxicant...for example, antioxidants, nutraceuticals, etc.,..?
Imagine that aldolase can react with the seven carbon molecule Sedoheptulose-1,7-bisphosphate (below). Use the mechanism to predict the two products generated. Please draw out the stereochemistry in a fischer projection.
Sodium borohydride (NaBH4) is a potent inhibitor of aldolase. It is known to ONLY inhibit theenzyme when it is complexed with substrate. Treatment of the enzyme alone has no effect.What is the mechanism for this inhibition? Please draw out the mechanism and show how it inhibits this.
