One method for separating polypeptides utilizes their different solubilities. The solubility of large polypeptides in water depe

nds upon the relative polarity of their R groups, particularly the number of ionized groups. The more ionized groups there are, the more soluble the polypeptide. Which polypeptide, ( Phe − Met ) 3 or ( Glu ) 20 , is more soluble at pH 7.0 ?

Answer:

Polypeptides are composed of amino acids, and we know amino acids are differently charged, have different R groups, and also have different isoelectric points. Depending on different isoelectric points and charged groups, the polypeptides can be separated and because a protein has its lowest solubility on its isoelectric point.

So in this question,

(a) (Lys-Ala)3 ; this is highly positively charged (polar) at pH 7 than (Gly)20 which is uncharged except for the amino and carboxyl terminal.

(b) (Glu)20 ; it is highly negatively charged at pH 7 whereas (Phe-Met)3 is much less polar and hence less soluble.

(c) (Asn-Ser-His)5 ; at pH 3, because in (Ala-Asp-Gly)5 the carboxylate groups of Asp residues are partially protonated and neutral, whereas in (Asn-Ser-His)5 , the imidazole groups of His residues are fully protonated and positively charged.

(d) (Asn-Ser-His)5; at pH 6.0; both polymers have polar Ser sidechains, but (Asn-Ser-His)5 also has the polar Asn side chains and partially protonated His side chains.

¿Por qué la aparición de la comunicación celular fue un paso clave en la evolución de los organismos multicelulares?
Deffense [45]

Answer:La transición de formas de vida unicelulares a multicelulares ha ocurrido en más de una ocasión a lo largo de la evolución. Las plantas, las algas marrones, los hongos y los animales han adquirido estilos de vida multicelulares de forma independiente y convergente.

La aparición de los animales representó un paso evolutivo clave en la historia de la vida. El desarrollo embrionario y todas las funciones que requiere la vida multicelular se hallan conservados en todos los animales, desde las esponjas a los humanos.

La secuenciación de los genomas de las especies unicelulares más cercanas a los animales ha revelado que estas ya contenían muchos de los genes necesarios para la multicelularidad. Estos habrían sido reutilizados para nuevas funciones multicelulares en el ancestro común de todos los animales.
