Answer:
Tamoxifen is an irreversible, competitive inhibitor.
Explanation:
In order to binds to the active site of the estrogen receptor protein, tamoxifen have to compete with the other chemical compound, and inhibits the estrogen release, so it is a competitive inhibitor. Then, you said that when tamoxifen binds to the receptor, the protein is permanently deactivated, so it is also irreversible.
To calculate the average mass of the element, we take the summation of the product of the isotope and the percent abundance. In this case, the equation becomes 186.207=187*0.626+185*x where x is the percent abundance of 185. The answer is 0.374 or 37.4%. This can also be obtained by 100%-62.6%= 37.4%.
Answer:
A.
Explanation:
The <u>tertiary structure </u>of proteins is related to the interactions between the amino acids of the <u>primary structure</u>. Thus, these interactions give it a specific three-dimensional configuration which is very sensitive to <u>functionality</u>.
For example, <u>allosteric inhibitions</u> are related to this concept. When the <u>inhibitor</u> changes the tertiary structure of the protein it loses all <u>activity</u> and for the catalysis of the reaction.
Thus, the primary structure (which is related to the specific <u>sequence of amino acids</u>) will determine the tertiary structure since the chain folds will be a consequence of<u> intra-amino acid interactions</u>.
First let us calculate for the molar mass of ibuprofen:
Molar mass = 13 * 12 g/mol + 18 * 1 g/mol + 2 * 16 g/mol
Molar mass = 206 g/mol = 206 mg / mmol
Calculating for the number of moles:
moles = 200 mg / (206 mg / mmol)
moles = 0.971 mmol = 9.71 x 10^-4 moles
Using the Avogadros number, we calculate the number of
molecules of ibuprofen:
Molecules = 9.71 x 10^-4 moles * (6.022 x 10^23 molecules
/ moles)
<span>Molecules = 5.85 x 10^20 molecules</span>
