Historically, an important strategy for disrupting the adhesion of integrins to their ligands is by using a synthetic peptide th

at mimics the binding site on the ECM molecule to which the integrin attaches. In the case of fibronectin, the amino acid sequence is arginine-glycine-aspartate (when written using the single letter designation for each amino acid, this sequence becomes RGD). Explain why addition of such synthetic peptides would disrupt binding of cells to their normal substratum.

Answer:

Upon binding of integrins with such synthetic peptides, disrupts the receptors, and make them unavailable to bind with fibronectin or laminin.

It would impact in inhibition of binding of cells to extracellular matrix (ECM). It is an important strategy that disrupts the adhesion of integrins and ligands. It can have significant role in tumor invasion and metastasis.

Predict how doubling the length of the sides of a cube-shaped cell would affect
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

Increasing the size of the cube-shaped cell increases the volume. However, the surface area-to-volume ratio decreases. This means that the simple diffusion would take more time distribute nutrients across the cell (and even in the eliminate waste). It would need bulk transport such as vesicle transport, otherwise cell activities would slow down.
