Chapter 25, Problem 17P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Reaction for the synthesis of dTMP from dUMP is to be determined.

Concept introduction:

Conversion of deoxyuridine monophosphate (dUMP) into deoxythymidine monophosphate (dTMP) is catalyzed by thymidine synthase enzyme. Thymidine is one of the nucleotides that is found in the DNA strand. If TS enzyme does not work properly, then it can lead to lack of thymidine and excess of uridine, which can cause DNA damage.

When sodium ions enter a neuron during depolarization, they trigger the opening of additional voltage-gated sodium channels nearby, creating a positive feedback loop where the influx of sodium ions further depolarizes the membrane, causing even more sodium channels to open and allowing more sodium ions to enter the cell, thus sustaining the depolarization process until the action potential peaks. But how and why exactly does the influx of sodium ions trigger more sodium channels to let in more sodium? Please explain
