Chymotrypsin is used for polypeptide cleavage on the C side of Trp, Tyr or Phe.

<h3>What is Chymotrypsin?</h3>

Other proteins' aromatic C-terminal amino acids are hydrolyzed by it using an active serine residue. The protease enzyme chymotrypsin cleaves peptide chains at the C-terminal phenylalanine (F), tryptophan (W), and tyrosine (Y) residues.

Since the 1960s, chymotrypsin has been used in clinical settings as an oral proteolytic enzyme preparation. In comparison to a few other enzyme preparations currently on the market, it offers better inflammatory symptom relief and supports a quicker recovery from acute tissue injury.

The inactive monomeric protein chymotrypsinogen, which is produced and secreted by mammalian pancreas, is broken down into chymotrypsin by cleavage of several peptide bonds. As a result, three different polypeptide chains that make up the active enzyme were created.

Why does an orbiting satellite's speed remain constant?

r-ruslan [8.4K]

The gravity on earth is a perpendicular force which does not affect speed. Also, once the satellite is out in space it is not longer affected by the earth´s gravity and its speed remains constant.

Answer:

75% brown, 25% white

Explanation:

This question involves a single gene coding for color in chickens. The allele for brown color (B) is dominant over the allele for white color (b).

According to this question, a brown rooter with genotype 'BB' was crossed with a white hen (bb). The offsprings in the F1 generation will all possess the 'Bb' genotype and be brown colored. However, if these F1 offsprings are self-mated i.e Bb × Bb, the proportion of F2 offsprings will be 1BB, 2Bb, 1bb.

Since BB, Bb and Bb offsprings are Brown in color and bb is white in color, this means that the expected phenotypic appearance of the F2 offsprings will be:

¾ or 75% brown and ¼ or 25% white
