(a)

Summary Introduction

To explain: The way in which the given information can be used to determine the number of polypeptide chains in an oligomeric protein.

Introduction:

Proteins are the basic building blocks of human body as it is required for growth and development. As it serves as an essential nutrient in the human body, it helps in the formation of body tissue. The proteins are formed by repeated linkage of amino acids through peptide bonds. The amino acids have “carboxyl group”, “amino group” and “R group”. The two amino acids are joined by peptide bond, such that the carboxyl group of one amino acid reacts with amino group of another amino acid. This result in formation of peptide bond and water molecule is lost.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The other analytic technique that could be used to decide whether the polypeptide chains in the given protein are similar or different.

Do schwann cells produce or act as myelin in the peripheral nervous system? I know that they encase and wrap around axons, but where does the myelin come into play?
The enzyme lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) catalyzes the conversion of pyruvate to lactatein skeletal muscle cells using NAD/NADH during anaerobic “balanced” fermentation.Answer the following questions about this reaction. (a) Write out the two reductive half reactions and indicate the E ̊' for each half reaction. Write out the full balanced reaction for the pyruvate to lactate rxn and indicate the ∆E ̊' for the reaction. (b) What is the free energy change under standard state conditions for thisreaction? Which direction is spontaneous?(c) Assume that in skeletal muscle cells the ratio of [NAD+] to [NADH] is 100, and that the[pyruvate] = 0.40 mM and [lactate] = 4.0 mM. What is the free energy change (∆G')for the conversion of pyruvate to lactate? Indicate the direction in which the reactionis spontaneous under these cellular conditions.
Why did the authors worry about the temperature-dependent solubility of the carriers in thebilayer? How did the authors determine whether the effect of freezing the lipid bilayer wasto decrease the solubility of the carriers (nonactin and valinomycin) or whether the effectwas to impair their ability to diffuse through the membrane (decrease their mobility)?
