Chapter 15, Problem 16P

(a)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The effects on the metabolism with genetic change such as knockout of glycogen debranching enzyme in the liver.

Introduction:

Researchers have manipulated mouse genes so that a single gene in a particular tissue either produces an active protein or produces an inactive protein. The inactivation of protein (knockout) or production of active protein should be in continuation.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The effects on metabolism with genetic change such as knockout of hexokinase IV in the liver.

Introduction:

Metabolism is the “sum of the chemical reactions that occur within the body”. It controls the chemical reactions and cellular structure in an organism. Metabolic energy is stored in the form of chemical bonds of ATP.

(c)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The effects on metabolism with genetic change such as knockout of FBPase-2 in the liver.

Introduction:

Researchers have manipulated mouse genes so that a single gene in a particular tissue either produces an active protein or produces an inactive protein. The inactivation of protein (knockout) or production of active protein should be in continuation.

(d)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The effects on metabolism with genetic change such as constitutively active FBPase-2 in the liver.

Introduction:

Metabolism is the “sum of the chemical reactions that occur within the body”. It controls the chemical reactions and cellular structure in an organism. Metabolic energy is stored in the form of chemical bonds of ATP.

(e)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The effects on metabolism with genetic change such as constitutively active AMPK in muscle.

Introduction:

Metabolism is the “sum of the chemical reactions that occur within the body”. There are two categories of metabolism: catabolism and anabolism. Breakdown of molecules in the body to obtain energy is catabolism while synthesis of compounds required by the body using energy is known as anabolism.

(f)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The effects on metabolism with genetic change such as constitutively active ChREBP in the liver.

Introduction:

Metabolism is the “sum of the chemical reactions that occur within the body”. It controls the chemical reactions and cellular structure in an organism. Metabolic energy is stored in the form of chemical bonds of ATP.

Draw a tripeptide of your choosing at pH 7. Have the N-terminus on the left and the C-terminus on the right. Then: Draw a triangle around the α-carbons. Draw a box around the R-groups. Circle the atoms capable of hydrogen bonding. Highlight the atoms involved in the formation of the peptide bonds. What type of structure have you drawn? (primary, secondary, tertiary or quaternary protein structure).
2. For the flow of fluid over a flat membrane of length 10cm, determine the length-average mass transfer coefficient. The relevant properties of the system are u=0.01cm²/s, D=5 x 106 cm²/s, and v = 5.0 cm/s.
Background Freezing isn't the only challenge in cryopreservation - thawing can be just as difficult. A microwave oven seems like a nice solution, since it deposits energy quickly and microwaves are non-ionizing radiation (they do not cause DNA mutation). However, water absorbs microwaves more effectively than ice does, meaning that the portion of an organ that has already melted will get warmer at a higher rate than the remaining ice – the opposite of what we want! - The transmission of radiation through a weakly absorbing material such as ice or water can be modeled by Beer's law, which assumes that the rate of absorption at a depth x is proportional to the local radiation intensity I(x) times an absorption coefficient, which is often written as μ or a or just µ). Noting that absorption decreases the intensity, we can write a differential equation a Solving the differential equation with the boundary condition on the surface being gives the relationship For a standard microwave oven…
