Estimate the isoelectric point of a ser–his dipeptide. explain why this value is only an estimate.

1 answer:

3 0

A dipeptide bond connects two amino acids. Ser stands for Serine while His stands for Histidine. Isoelectric point is when all charges of the two amino acids cancel out. This can be estimated by finding the average of the isoelectric points (pI) of the two amino acids.

Serine: pI = 5.68
Histidine: pI = 7.59

Average pI = (5.68 + 7.59)/2 = 6.635

This is only a rough estimate because an arithmetic average will not coincide with the biochemistry of the amino acids. The true value of the isolectric point is determined through experimentation. However, it would be more ore less around 6.635.

Missing part of the question

Determine the number of handshakes, i, that will occur for each number of people, n, in a particular room. (people)

Answer:

$S_n = \frac{n}{2}(n - 1)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

For 5 people

$\begin{array}{cc}{People} & {Handshakes} & {5} & {4} & {4} & {3} & {3} & {2} & {2} & {1} & {1} & {0} &{Total} & {10} \ \end{array}$

Using the given instance of 5 people, the number of handshakes can be represented as:

$(n - 1) + (n - 2) + (n - 3) + ........ + 3 + 2 + 1 + 0$

The above sequence is an arithmetic sequence and the total number of handshakes is the sum of n terms of the sequence.

$S_n = \frac{n}{2}{(T_1 + T_n})$

Where

$T_1 = n - 1$ --- The first term

$T_n = 0$ --- The last term

So:

$S_n = \frac{n}{2}(n - 1 + 0)$

$S_n = \frac{n}{2}(n - 1)$

If the volume of the pyramid shown is 360 inches cubed, what is its height?

dimaraw [331]

Answer:

9 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the volume of a rectangular pyramid is $V = \frac{1}{3}(l*w*h)$

Here we have volume (V), base (L), and width (W)
V = 360 in³, L = 12 in, W = 10 in

We need to manipulate the volume equation to solve for the height (H)

First we need to multiply both sides by 3 to get rid of the fraction: 3V = L×W×H
Then we need to divide both sides by (L×W) to get: $\frac{3V}{lw} =h$

Now we can plug in the given values:

$\frac{3(360in^{3}) }{(12 in)(10in)} =\frac{1080in^{3} }{120in^{2} } = 9in$
The height is 9 inches

miss Akunina [59]

Took me a minute to think.

Form ratios.

x, the small triangle, forms a ratio with 6, the big triangle.

The part of the side that is equal(with the dash) that is part of the small triangle is equal to 6-x, the big triangle.

Yes, you can cross-multiply here!

$\frac{6}{x} = \frac{8}{6-x}$

Now, cross multiply.
P.S. Use distributive property.

36-6x = 8x

Add 6x on both sides.

36=14x

Divide by 14 on both sides.

x = $\frac{36}{14}$ = $\frac{18}{7}$
