If an infant of a diabetic mother is admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit, the nurse should EVALUATE THE EFFECT OF MOTHER GLUCOSE LEVEL IN THE INFANT BY PERFORMING A BLOOD TEST ON THE NEWBORN. This test is known as Heel Stick Blood Test. It is used to determine the blood glucose level in the infant.
The new hydrophilic amino acid would not form the same interactions with hydrophobic R groups. As a consequence, protein's 3D structure would likely be affected.
Different types of amino acids have different properties and thus form different interactions. For example, hydrophobic amino acids (water-repelent) such as alanine, valine, leucine, isoleucine, proline, phenylalanine, cysteine and methionine. participate in van der Waals type of interactions. They often form the hydrophobic core of the protein which doesn’t interact with water surrounding.
On the other hand, hydrophilic amino acids (arginine, asparagine, glutamine, aspartat..) are polar, can dissolve in the water and can join the hydrogen bond network.
Because water is a polar molecule, it makes an excellent solvent for polar and ionic compounds found within cells and tissues.
A person had
her tonsils removed and developed throat cancer. The two events are related
because the tonsils contain lymphocytes that may have killed the cancer cells Tonsils
are made up of soft tissues. Tonsils are located near the throat.
