Concept explainers
Interpretation:
Effect of hemoglobin when substitution of valine for glutamic acid in primary structure of hemoglobin has to be identified.
Concept introduction:
Many amino acids are linked together through amide bonds to form a biologically large molecule known to be proteins.
Amino
Primary structure of protein is a sequence in which the amino acids linked by peptide bond in a protein.
Sickle-cell anemia is a hereditary disease caused by genetic difference that replaces one amino acid (glutamate) with another in each of the two polypeptide chains of the hemoglobin.

Why do monosaccharides have high boiling and melting points? Identify carbons 3 and 5 in the monosaccharides below 9 Reducing & non - reducing sugars ( Learning goal 5) A classification that helps differentiate monosaccharides Reducing sugars Also known as aldoses. E. g. glucose Changes Benedicts solution from ) blue to redarrow_forwardBook problem 28-22: Human and horse insulin both have two polypeptide chains, with one chain containing 21 amino acids and the other containing 30 amino acids. They differ in primary structure at two places. At position 9 in one chain, human insulin has Ser and horse insulin has Gly; at position 30 in the other chain, human insulin has Thr and horse insulin has Ala. How must the DNA for the two insulins differ? Book problem 28-24: The codon UAA stops protein synthesis. Why does the sequence UAA in the following stretch of mRNA not cause any problems?

Include in your summary a list of at least 2 proteins that are involved in transcription. Your summary should be 2-3 sentences long. B. Pyrrole-imidazole polyamides such as the ones discussed in this paper are designed to bind specific sites on DNA. These types of polyamides can be used to inhibit transcription. a. Explain in 1-2 sentences how a molecule that binds to a specific DNA sequence could inhibit transcription. b. Many types of cancer are caused by problems with transcription. Explain in 1-2 sentences why a molecule like a polyamide would be better for treating a cancer caused by mis-regulations in transcription than a molecule that inhibits the functionality of RNA polymerase II. (Hint, think about side effects). C. A chemist made a similar molecule but rather than using pyrroles and imidazoles, they just used cyclopentane molecules. Would this molecule bind DNA as efficiently as the original polyamide? Explain your answer in…arrow_forwardExplain #8 a&b thoroughly.
