Concept explainers
To differentiate: In the activity of troponin and tropomyosin in the contraction of muscles with the competitive inhibitor activity in the enzyme action.
Concept introduction: The contraction of muscle cells rely on the interactions between the thick and the thin filaments. The thick filaments are called as the myosin molecules, whereas the thin filaments are called as the actin filaments. The contraction of muscles is the result of filaments motion that is powered by a chemical energy.
The troponin complex and the tropomyosin are the regulatory proteins involved in the contraction of muscles. Competitive inhibition is a type of enzyme inhibition, where an inhibitor binds to the target molecule and prevents the binding of substrate to the enzyme.

(b) What are the names of the subunits within the myofibrils that run the length of skeletal muscle fibers? (c) What is the “double strand of pearls� described in the video? (d) What gives a skeletal muscle fiber its striated appearance?arrow_forwardSolve all plz Thank youarrow_forward. Salmon are anadromous fish and must deal with osmotic changes in their environment in extreme ways. Researchers have found that Na*/K* - ATPase is found in two different kinds of cells in the gill tissue. One type is found in the filament bases that appear to be active when salmon are adults only. The other types of cells are found in the lamellae folds and appear to be active during its juvenile stages. Speculate on these findings as to how this allows salmon to complete their unique life cycle.arrow_forward

- Hypothetical scenerio: When the membrane potential is 80mV across the digestive vacuoles (DV), inside positive, the Vmax for VF-6-2 efflux is 15pmol/h. However, when the membrane potential is 80mV inside negative, the Vmax of VF-6-2 efflux drops to near zero. Researchers suggest an H+ P-type ATPase is also in the membrane and is required for VF-6-2 efflux. Do these data support their suggestion? What type of transporter might PfCRT be? How can vanadate be used to potentially test their idea?arrow_forward4arrow_forward.Wheeler and Mathews (J. Biol. Chem. 286:16992–16996, 2011) reported the concentrations of adenine nucleotides in rat liver mitochondria as fol- lows: ATP, 5.5 mM; ADP, 5.1 mM; AMP, 1.8 mM. (a) Calculate the adenylate energy charge within the mitochondrion [ATP] + 0.5[ADP] (adenylate energy charge [ATP] + [ADP] + [AMPJ' (b) Most measurements of adenylate energy charge in whole cells or cytosol give values close to 0.9. Speculate on reasons why it might be advantageous for mitochondria to have an ADP concentration almost as high as that of ATP. (c) succinyl-CoA + ADP + P¡ = -2.9 kJ/mol If [P;] within the mitochondrion is 0.05 M and succinate and succinyl- CoA are present at equimolar concentrations, what is the maximum succinate + ATP + CoA-SH AG°' mitochondrial concentration of CoA-SH at which the reaction can be exergonic?arrow_forward
