All of the 20 common amino acids have at least ____ pka values

Biology
1 answer:
miskamm [114]3 years ago
7 0

<span>Amino acids are weak acids that have at least 2 pka values. They have two titratable protons that composed of alpha carboxyl (-COOH) and alpha amino (-NH3+), but some amino acids have a third titratable protons with ionizable groups in the R side chain.  In addition, the structure of amino acids in peptides and proteins are determined by the charges of the titratable group and by the R group. </span>

1) Glycogen phosphorylase catalyzes the removal of glucose from glycogen. The ∆G°’ for this reaction is 3.1 kJ/mole 1. Calculate
Andru [333]

Answer:

1. G° = -RT ln (G1P/P)

3.1 = 8.314 × 310 × ln (G1P/P)

3.1 / 2577.34 = ln (G1P/P)

0.0012 = ln (G1P/P)

0.0012 = (log G1P/P)/log 2.71828

0.4342 × 0.0012 = log G1P/P

0.00052 = log G1P/P

G1P/P = 10^0.00052 = 1.0012

P/G1P = 1/1.0012 = 0.9988

2. The cleavage of glycogen phosphorolytically is beneficial for the cell to conduct the process as the discharged glucose is phosphorylated. A general hydrolytic cleavage would give rise to only a glucose, which has to be phosphorylated again with the help of ATP.  

Another merit of phosphorylated glucose is that it comprises the negative charge and cannot diffuse out of the muscle cell. Thus, the reaction will not be at equilibrium under the physiological conditions and always encourages the generation of the products. The formation of products will amend the change in free energy in such a manner that the reaction will always carry in the forward direction.  

3. Greater the ratio of [Pi]/[glucose-1-phosphate], higher will be the relative rate of glycogen phosphorylase in comparison to the phosphoglucomutase as the transformation of Glu-1-P becomes slow because of lesser accessibility of substrate.

How successful has it been in reducing the harmful chemicals from the burning of fossil fuels that cause acid rain?
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

Not very successful considering the fact that there is still acid rain even with more advances in technology such as the development of hydroelectric power plants and other renewable forms of energy so as to reduce the continuous burning of fossil fuels.

Explanation:

Acid rain is produced when sulfur and nitrogen in their oxide forms are released into the atmosphere where they get to meet with water and other chemicals. Since water contains hydrogen and oxygen, it reacts with sulfur and nitrogen in their oxide form to produce weak acids which come down to the earth as it rains. Fossil fuel combustion is a man-made practice of releasing sulfur and nitrogen in their oxide form into the atmosphere which eventually results in acid rain.
