Cysteine contributes to the three-dimensional structure of a protein by forming covalent bonds with an identical amino acid in another part of the protein.

<h3>What is the Cysteine Structure?</h3>
  • Covalent disulfide bonds form between the sulfhydryl (-SH) groups of cysteines in different parts of a protein are very important in determining the three-dimensional shape of the protein.
  • is a HOOC-CH-(NH2)-CH2-SH proteinogenic amino acid that is semi-essential. Cysteine's thiol side chain frequently functions as a nucleophile in enzyme processes.
  • The sign Cyz is occasionally used when a deprotonated catalytic residue is present.
  • The sign Cym can also be used to usually denote the deprotonated form.
  • The thiol is capable of being oxidized to produce the disulfide derivative cystine, which is crucial for many proteins' structural integrity. Cyx is sometimes used in this context. It carries the E identifier E920 when added to food.
  • The codons UGU and UGC encode the amino acid cysteine.
  • Cysteine and methionine, which contain sulfur, are more quickly oxidized than other amino acids.

Mutation is an important mechanism for evolutionary change. Which type of mutations contribute to evolution?
Aneli [31]
<span>Both somatic and germinal mutations are contributors of evolution. Somatic mutations occur within tissues of individuals that give the said individual differing traits and characteristics. Germinal mutations occur in reproductive cells that can be passed on to offspring, altering their traits and characteristics.</span>

At list of processes associated with CO2 transport in the blood. Classify each process as occurring predominantly at peripheral
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

a. CO2 is produced ---> occurs predominantly at the peripheral tissues

b. CO2 + H20 to form H2CO3 ---> occurs predominantly at the peripheral tissues

c. Bicarbonate combines with H+ to form H2CO3 ---> occurs predominantly in the lungs

d. CO2 diffuses into blood ---> occurs predominantly at the peripheral tissues

Explanation:

Peripheral gas exchange or internal respiration is the gaseous exchange that occurs between the blood and the tissues of the body across the walls of the peripheral capillaries in contrast to external respiration which is the exchange of respiratory gase, carbon (iv) oxide and oxygen, between the body and the external environment occuring at the lungs.

During respiration, carbon dioxide is removed from the body through the lungs while oxygen is taken into through the lungs.

Carbon dioxide is produced as a waste product of metabolism by the tissues of the body. Removal of carbon dioxide is of utmost importance and occurs in three distinct ways in the body:

1. First carbon dioxide is transported in dissolved form in the blood to the lungs.

2. Carbon dioxide combines reversibly with hemoglobin to form carbaminohemoglobin and is transported to the lungs where it dissociates from hemoglobin is removed via expiration

3. Carbon dioxide is transported in the form of bicarbonate in blood to the lungs where it removed by the following process : i) carbon dioxide produced in the peripheral tissues diffusers into the and into the red blood cells. (ii) The enzyme carbonic anhydrase converts it to carbonic acid (iii) Carbonic acid dissociates into bicarbonate and hydrogen ions. Hydrogen ions binds to haemoglobin while bicarbonate is exchange with chloride ion in the plasma. (iv) Bicarbonate is transported to the lungs in blood plasma. (v) At the lungs, bicarbonate renters the red blood cells in exchange for chloride ions. The bicarbonate combines with hydrogen ions released from hemoglobin to form carbonic acid. Carbonic acid is broken down to carbon dioxide and water by carbonic anhydrase in the red blood cells. Carbon dioxide diffusesout into the lungs and is expelled.

Therefore, the processes in the question above can be classified thus:

a. CO2 is produced ---> occurs predominantly at the peripheral tissues

b. CO2 H20 to form H2CO3 ---> occurs predominantly at the peripheral tissues

c. Bicarbonate combines with H+ to form H2CO3 ---> occurs predominantly in the lungs

d. CO2 diffuses into blood ---> occurs predominantly at the peripheral tissues
