Keratin is a fibrous protein, that makes up a large component of the hair and nails. It is a hardened protein, with some flexibility, that is used by epithelial cells to protect the cells from damage and stress, when the hair or nail is still in the roots. It is found in high amount, in vegetables and fruits that are orange in color (carrots in particular)

A client has been diagnosed with gram-negative pneumonia. Knowing this bacteria has a lipopolysaccharide endotoxin on the outer
agasfer [191]

Answer:

The options

A)Damage to cellular mitochondria

B)Increased ATP levels

C)Activation of the p53 protein

D)Apoptosis

The CORRECT ANSWER IS D

D)Apoptosis

Explanation:

The extrinsic pathway of apoptosis includes extracellular signaling proteins which adhere to cell surface molecules known aa death receptors which in turn activates apoptosis.

The aftermath activates endonucleases prompting division of DNA and ultimately cell death.

Apart from the TNF and Fas ligand, primary signaling molecules also promotes the extrinsic pathway, examples of such are the TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL); the cytokineinterleukin-1 (IL-1); and lipopolysaccharide (LPS), the endotoxin located in the outer cell membrane of gram-negative bacteria while the activation of the p53 protein, and decreased ATP levels in the intrinsic pathway results in DNA damage.

Investigators wish to purify an enzyme—a serine protease—using affinity chromatography. They attach to the matrix of an affinity
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

After this treatment, the investigators should expect to get a mixture of the desired enzyme, plus fragments of the peptide used to desorb the enzyme in question.

This would be the result of using a peptide as a desorption solution when the desired protein is a protease,

Assuming that the protease retains its activity in the medium in question, and that the peptide can act as a substrate (which would make sense), as the peptide solution is added, it will interact with and bind to the antibody, but some molecules will also interact with the active site of the enzyme as it desorbs and passes through, culminating on the elution of the hydrolized part of the peptide along with the enzyme.
