Answer and explanation;

-Aba is a suitable replacement because Aba and Cys have approximately the same sized side chain and are similarly hydrophobic.

-However, Aba cannot form disulfide bonds so it will not be a suitable replacement if these are required.

-Alpha-Aminobutyric acid is biosynthesized by transaminating oxobutyrate, a metabolite in isoleucine biosynthesis.

Based on the definitions of pharmacophore and privileged structure, outline essential structural features a 1,4-dihyrdopyridine
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Pharmacophore (pharmacology) - The molecular framework responsible for a drug's biological activity. According to IUPAC — A pharmacophore is the ensemble of steric and electronic features that is necessary to ensure the optimal supramolecular interactions with a specific biological target structure and to trigger (or to block) its biological response.

Privileged structures are defined as molecular frameworks which are able of providing useful ligands for more than one type of receptor or enzyme target by judicious structural modifications.

1) The 1,4-dihydropyridine ring is present in many biologically important molecules that acts as an important scaffold for cardiovascular drug - a calcium antagonists and although it is technically not considered as a pharmacophore, it is considered as a privileged structure.

1,4-Dihydropyridine (DHP), belongs to the class of calcium antagonist that inhibits the influx of extracellular Ca+2 through the L-type voltage-dependent calcium channels.

A positional substitution in the 4-position is feasible in the heterocyclic ring which in turn culminates in various calcium channel antagonist activities and this heterocyclic ring is the common feature for various pharmacological activities such as anti-inflammatory activity, analgesic activity,

antihypertensive, antianginal, antitumor, antitubercular activity and antithrombotic .

Position on the heterocyclic ring binds to the L-type channel and also to N-type channel on membranes.

2.) The bioisosteres are not a suitable bioisostere for the traditional C-4 aryl or heteroaryl substitution which is necessary for calcium ion blockage thereby inhibiting it to function with the mechanism shared above.

What does cell specialization in multicellular organisms aloows cells to do?
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Cell specialization is also called cell differentiation. Through this process, specialized cells form from the unspecialized cells. Then many cells are formed and determined to form specialized functions.

The stem cells are the unspecialized cells which form a different kind of specialized cells.  

The muscle cells, nerve cells, sperm cells, red blood cells are specialized cells perform different specialized functions. All these cells arise from stem cells. The nerve cells receive impulse, muscle cells can contract, etc.

There are certain inductive signaling genes that send the signal to the differentiated cells. These signaling molecules are called ligands. These ligands move to another cell to produce specialized cells. In other words, there are some transcription factors and genes responsible for such cell differentiation and the formation of specialized cells.

Another example is zygote, which is an unspecialized cell. This is also a totipotent cell that has the potentiality to reproduce different cells.
