What causes reversal of biochemical reactions?

Biology
1 answer:
Alexxandr [17]3 years ago
7 0

A and B can react to form C and D or, in the reverse reaction, C and D can react to form A and B. This is distinct from reversible process in thermodynamics.

Weak acids and bases undertake reversible reactions. For example, carbonic acid: H2CO3 (l) + H2O(l) ⇌ HCO−3 (aq) + H3O+(aq).

The concentrations of reactants and products in an equilibrium mixture are determined by the analytical concentrations of the reagents (A and B or C and D) and the equilibrium constant, K. The magnitude of the equilibrium constant depends on the Gibbs free energy change for the reaction.[2] So, when the free energy change is large (more than about 30 kJ mol−1), then the equilibrium constant is large (log K > 3) and the concentrations of the reactants at equilibrium are very small. Such a reaction is sometimes considered to be an irreversible reaction, although in reality small amounts of the reactants are still expected to be present in the reacting system. A truly irreversible chemical reaction is usually achieved when one of the products exits the reacting system, for example, as does carbon dioxide (volatile) in the reaction

denpristay [2]

<u>Answer:</u>

In comparing stop-transfer and internal start-transfer sequences in proteins, it can be said that both are hydrophobic.

Option: (b)

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • Hydrophobic means repelling water.
  • Hydrophobic molecules are non polar i.e. that there is no static electric field produce by atoms of molecules.
  • Due to this reason the hydrogen cannot form hydrogen bond with the molecules.
  • Internal start- transfer process is a transfer process of peptide and moves through the side opening of translocon and the anchor itself in the 'membrane'.
  • Stop-transfer sequences in proteins halts the 'process of translocation' and moves out through the 'side opening in translocation' to anchor.
