A type of muscular dystrophy, called severe childhood autosomal recessive muscular dystrophy (SCARMD), results from a mutation i

n the gene for a 50-kD muscle protein. The defective protein leads to muscle necrosis. Detailed studies of this protein have revealed that an arginine residue at position 98 has been mutated to a histadine. Why might replacing an arginine with a histadine result in a defective protein?

Answer:

The muscular dystrophy may be defined as the medical condition that leads to the weakening of the muscle and reduction in the muscle weight and loss of motor control.

The muscular dystrophy is the autosomal recessive disease. THis occur due to the mutation in the amino acids and arginine is replaced with histidine. The arginine pKa value is high whereas histidine pKa value is nearly upto 6-7. This disrupt the physiology of the proteins, disrupt its structure and result in the formation of misleading protein.

Answer:

Difference in pKa and PI values of Arginine and histadine

Explanation:

There is a huge difference between the pK values of the two amino acid groups for different groups  

For instance – for alpha CO2H group, PK value of arginine and histidine  is 2.18 and 1.78 respectively

Similarly, for NH3 group, PK value of arginine and histidine  is 9.09 and 8.97 respectively

And for R –group, PK value of arginine and histidine  is 13.2 and 5.97  respectively

Also there are difference in the isoelectronic point or isoionic point  of the two groups at a given temperature due to which the two amino acids migrate differently in an electric field.  

This give rise to a non-conservative replacement where replacement of one group by the other makes significant differences in the protein structure and function.

Why is it critical that equal amounts of DNA are shared between homologous chromosomes?
harina [27]
<span>Homologous chromosomes are chromosomes of equal length, size, and of corresponding genetic material. If, during meiosis, these chromosomes divide improperly, when they are re-combined with the opposite sex's portion, they will combine improperly. The unequal distribution of genetic material in reproduction will eventually create what's call an aneuploid germ cell: this germ cell results in dead zygotes, which leads to a miscarriage or spontaneous abortion in about 25 percent of all conceptions. So we see that it is imperative the genetic material of these chromosomes be exactly where it is supposed to be: so that it can combine perfectly with its compliment.</span>

The brackets are indicating a(n) _____ bond.
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

The correct answer choice is B

Explanation:

We use these brackets in the first place to show the main molecule interconnection with other appendage molecules. For example, Ca(OH)2. The main molecule of calcium is joined with other two molecules and  brackets are showing interconnection simply. However, these brackets can't tell us about the orientation and position of bond in 3D space. We have to utilize stereo-chemistry for that...
