Chapter 13, Problem 29P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The most sensitive member of the ASIC family to toxin needs to be determined.

Concept introduction:

The acid sensing ion channels which are commonly known as ASIC are the proton sensing channels present in the central nervous system which are reactive towards a variety of complex behaviors such as fear, anxiety, pain, depression, leaning and sensitivity.ASIC1a, ASIC1b, ASIC2a, ASIC2b, ASIC3, and ASIC4 are six different subunits of such acid sensing ion channels.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

Whether the effect of the toxin is reversible or irreversible needs to be explained.

Concept introduction:

The acid sensing ion channels which are commonly known as ASIC are the proton sensing channels present in the central nervous system which are reactive towards a variety of complex behaviors such as fear, anxiety, pain, depression, leaning and sensitivity.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The percentage of PcTx1 that yields 50% inhibition of the sensitive channel needs to be determined.

Concept introduction:

The acid sensing ion channels which are commonly known as ASIC are the proton sensing channels present in central nervous system which are reactive towards a variety of complex behaviors such as fear, anxiety, pain, depression, leaning and sensitivity.

Biochemistry What is the process of "transamination" in either the muscles or the liver, that involves keto acid or glutamic acid? Please explain how the steps work. Thank you!
Biochemistry Please help. Thank you What is the importance of glutamic acid in the metabolism of nitrogen from amino acids? (we know therole; it’s used to remove the nitrogen from amino acids so that the remaining carbon skeleton can bebroken down by the “usual” pathways, but what is the important, unique role that only glutamicacid/glutamate can do?)
Biochemistry Please help. Thank you When carbamyl phosphate is joined to L-ornathine, where does the energy for the reaction come from?
