Summary Introduction
To determine: The reason for the improvement in the condition of gout, if the purines are reduced in their diet of the humans as compared to the bird.
Concept introduction: The condition of the “gout” develops due to the deposition of the uric acid in the bones and the joints. This takes place due to the formation of the uric acid in the

What is the true about renin? help me!
WHAT IF? Suppose you were studying two groupsof obese people with genetic abnormalities in theleptin pathway. In one group, the leptin levels areabnormally high; in the other group, they are abnormally low. How would each group’s leptin levels changeif they ate a low-calorie diet for an extended period?Explain.
Hi I'm studying pharmacokinetics and i was reading a study on how food can increase the F while fasted does not on ivermectin. The study was using VPc and bootstrap analysis and i could not understand either. The graph on vpc was odd looking with tre lines and i could not differentiate which was observant and simulation. Please explain? also why are there so many black dots around the second line in the middle and what does it mean?

List which amino acid residues have these ionizable groups and list all of the pka and pKb values (including the R groups) that are on both polypeptide chains that make up insulin. (see the table at the end of this HW set; note that tyrosine and cysteine both have unusual pka's, since these side groups ionize above the pKR's given to have a negative charge). B. The isoelectric point of insulin is reported to be around 5.3-5.35. Using the method covered in class, estimate the isoelectric point of insulin and compare your answer to the values above. C. For a polypeptide to be soluble in an aqueous solution, is it good to be near the isoelectric point? Why or why not? Notes: a couple of unusual R group's that ionize (cysteine and tyrosine have R groups that have pka values; histidine has a pkb).
