Chapter 16, Problem 22P
Interpretation Introduction

To Explain:

Function of switch 1 of active model for K1F1A kinesin protein should be identified. Why K1F1A cannot move cargo when switch 1 is bound to AMPPNP should be explained.

Introduction:

A kinesin is a protein which acts as molecular motor in eukaryotic cells. Using the free energy by ATP hydrolysis kinesins move along microtubules. The active movement of kinesins involve in several cellular functions such as mitosis, meiosis and axonal transport. K1F1A is a member of kinesin family.

A non-hydrolysable analogue of ATP is AMP-PNP. It enhances the interaction between membranous organelles and microtubules and inhibits axonal transport.

A hospital blood processing unit uses apheresis to concentrate red blood cells (RBCs) fromwhole blood donations. Whole blood is drawn from a donor at a rate of 100 g/min and passedthrough a centrifuge-based apheresis system. The whole blood contains 45% RBC and 1%WBCs and platelets by mass, with the remainder consisting of plasma. The separated plasma andnon-RBC components are returned to the donor at a rate of 90 g/min.The goal of the system is to collect a concentrated RBC fraction containing 80% red blood cells.Assume that red blood cells do not break down during processing and that no fluid loss occurs inthe system.(a) How long will it take to collect 100g of the concentrated RBC fraction?
Please give an intuitive explanation of the blood-brain barrier. Specifically, what is it, what is its structure and function, what types of cells compose it, etc.,..?
