Amyloid fibrils are associated with many fatal degenerative diseases of humans and livestock. Livestock diseases such as scrapie

in sheep and bovine spongiform encephalitis (BSE, or mad cow disease) have major negative impacts on agriculture. Human diseases characterized by amyloid fibrils include Alzheimer's disease and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.
Choose the true statements about amyloid fibrils.

a. Amyloid fibrils have a high amount of β-sheet structure.
b. Proteins that convert to an amyloid structure form soluble fibrils.
c. Because most newly synthesized proteins fold correctly, the accumulation of misfolded proteins (or fragments) tends to occur slowly, thus explaining the slow onset of disease.
d. An amyloid fibril is stabilized by hydrogen bonds between small hydrophilic residues.
e. Proteins that form amyloid fibrils are normally soluble.

Answer:

a. Amyloid fibrils have a high amount of β-sheet structure.

c. Because most newly synthesized proteins fold correctly, the accumulation of misfolded proteins (or fragments) tends to occur slowly, thus explaining the slow onset of disease.

e. Proteins that form amyloid fibrils are normally soluble.

Explanation:

Amyloids can be defined as fibrillar protein aggregates composed of a β-sheet secondary structure. In general, the amyloid fibrils are composed by soluble proteins that are assembled to form insoluble resistant to degradation fibers. In humans, defective amyloid proteins produced by misfolding are known to produce diseases (amyloidosis) capable of altering the function of tissues and organs. Systemic forms of amyloidosis are common in neurodegenerative disorders.

koban [17]
Tons of rain can cause an ecosystem to flood, killing species that are not meant to withstand lots of water. Ocean temperature can slow down or speed up evaporation, affecting precipitation rates.

Here are some of the tRNA molecules in Lucy's white blood cells. Let's see if tRNA #1 is carrying the correct amino acid for its
Kitty [74]

Answer:

For the tRNA anticodon CCA the corresponding codon is GGU, which codes for the amino acid Glycine (Gly).

Explanation:

Transfer RNA or tRNA is responsible for driving the right amino acid into protein synthesis, once the mRNA codon has been translated by the ribosome. It is for that reason that each mRNA codon must have a complementary tRNA anticodon.

The RNA pairing rules is that each nitrogenous base has a complementary base, so:  

- Adenine is complementary with uracil A=U

- Cytosine is complementary with Guanine C=G

In this case, it can be seen that:

  • <em>For the anti-codon:  CCA</em>
  • <em>Codon:                      GGU</em>
  • <em>Aminoacid:               Gly</em>

Which is not a cost for organisms that sexually reproduce?
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

Identical shape and structure.

Explanation:

Those organisms that reproduce sexually have high variations and differences between the parent and its offspring. They are not identical to each other because the offspring gains half characteristics from male parent and half from the female parent making it different from its parent. Identical feature is present in the organisms that reproduce through asexually means from only one parent so the identical shape and structure is not the cost of sexual reproduction.

lubasha [3.4K]

Answer: Alzheimer's disease causes proteins in the brain to become improperly folded.

Explanation:

The alzheimer disease is a brain disorder that destroys the memory and thinking skills in the affected patients.

The alzheimer disease is identified as the protein folding disease. It is due to the accumulation of abnormally folded protein called as amyloid beta protein present inside the brain of the alzheimer's patients. The function of this protein is unclear and it is assumed to be involved in the neuronal development.
