Suppose that a glutamine residue in the active site of an enzyme was mutated to alanine. As expected, the alanine mutant was ina

ctive, suggesting that the glutamine residue was critical to the catalytic mechanism. Which mutation is most likely to restore wild-type level of activity to the alanine mutant?
A to M

A to N

Answer:

A to N

Explanation:

Glutamine is an amino acid with a polar, uncharged side chain. The mutation to alanine, an amino acid with a non-polar side chain, completely affects the enzymatic activity. This makes sense considering the difference in the nature of both amino acids.

To restore the wild-type level of activity the alanine would have to mutate to another polar uncharged amino acid. Among the given options, only Asparagine (N) has a similar chemistry to Glutamine.

Use the numbers to put the steps of translation in order, from first (1) to last (5). The large ribosomal subunit completes the
pashok25 [27]
Translation is a complex process that translated the genetic information from the language of DNA in the language of RNA. The first step in this process is the binding of the initiator tRNA (that is bound to the aminoacid methionine) to the small ribosomal unit. Then, the small ribosomal unit joins the mRNA; it is the part of the ribosome mainly responsible for translating. After that, the initiator tRNA binds to the start codon. This reaction frees some initiation factors that make large ribosomal units bind to the small one. Hence, <span>the large ribosomal subunit completes the initiation complex afterwards. The role of the large ribosomal unit is mainly to make the peptidic bonds between the aminoacids in the new protein. After that, </span><span>amino acids are paired with anticodons, gradually forming a long chain</span>; this chain is called a polypeptide and is the skeleton of the protein that is created. Finally, this process stops when one of the three possible stop codons are reached.

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

The question is incomplete as there are no options, the options are:

What would be the next step in this experiment?

A. construct a hypothesis and record data

B. make observations and draw a conclusion

C. ask questions and construct a hypothesis

D. analyze the results and make a conclusion

The answer is D

Explanation:

According to this question, a student performs an experiment where she places apple fruit on one location and places apple and banana together in another location. She follows the steps of the scientific method in performing this experiment.

The steps involved in the scientific method include:

- Making an observation

- Constructing an hypothesis

- Testing the hypothesis (experimentation)

- Analyse the result

- Draw a conclusion

The student in this question has already made the observation that when bananas are kept near other fruits, the other fruits ripen faster. She has hypothesized that bananas must have an influence on the ripening process. She tests the hypothesis via an experiment described above. Hence, the next step is to ANALYZE THE RESULTS she will get after 5 days and DRAW A CONCLUSION based on that.
