Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The precursor of the given unsaturated fatty acid must be determined.
Concept introduction:
Double bond/bonds can be introduced in the newly synthesized fatty acid by both eukaryotes and prokaryotes. In eukaryotes, Cyt b5, oxygen-dependent desaturase, and NADH-cytochrome b5 reductase are responsible for the unsaturation of fatty acids. The desaturase enzyme used here contains a non-heme iron atom and this enzyme is an integral membrane protein.
(b)
Interpretation:
The precursor of the given unsaturated fatty acid must be determined.

When subjected to gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), the protein gives three bands with molecular masses of 180, 160, and 60 kDa. When electrophoresis is carried out in the presence of SDS and dithiothreitol (DTT), three bands again form, this time with molecular masses of 160, 90, and 60 kDa. How many subunits does the protein have, and what is the molecular mass of each? four subunits: 180, 160, 90, and 60 kDa three subunits: 180, 160, and 60 kDa three subunits: 160, 90, and 60 kDa four subunits: 160, 90, 90, and 60 kDa Correct Answerarrow_forwardCalculate KM and Vmax from the following data: KM= i Vmax [S] (μM) vo (mM.s-¹) 0.1 0.34 0.2 0.53 0.4 0.74 0.8 0.91 1.6 1.04 μM mM s-1arrow_forward
