Why was the cow insulin an effective substitute for the human insulin?

Pork and beef insulins are similar to human insulin, differing only in one or a few amino acids. However, even a slight difference is enough to elicit an allergic response in some people. To overcome this problem, researchers looked for ways to make insulin that would more closely resemble human insulin.

Answer:

The insulin of the cows is very similar to the human one, differing in the composition three amino acids.

Explanation:

Insulin is a peptide hormone, with a very complex structure. Its structure is formed by 51 amino acids distributed in two chains, linked by disulfide bonds between the cysteine amino acids. Cow insulin is different in three amino acids from human insulin. This difference is quite significant to produce allergy. To solve the problem, a process known as transpeptidization must be applied, which allows the substitution of the three different amino acids with the amino acids of the human insulin sequence.

Find a start signal, and write the amino acid sequence that is coded for. 5'...gccauguuuccgaguuaucccaaagauaaaaaagag...3'
Greeley [361]
The start signal is AUG which codes fo methionine. The amino acid sequence will be as follows: <span>Met-Phe-Pro-Ser-Tyr-Pro-Lys-Asp-Lys-Lys-Glu. The first codon (GCC) codes for alanine but not in the amino acid sequence because it is not a start codon (the only start codon is AUG which codes for methionine).

How may the height of a water table create a spring
yaroslaw [1]
When prolonged and excessive rainfall the more water percolates and the water table (below the earth surface/soil) rises.  The higher the water table the more the possibility increases for a spring to form in the sense that it would now be easier for the water to find a means of escaping the underground through perhaps a crack or a cave, etc.

For the answer to the question above, <span>Blurred Vision

A severe headache, visual disturbances such as blurred vision and some epigastric pain that is associated with the development of severe pre-eclampsia or eclampsia. These danger signs and symptoms must be reported immediately as soon as possible. A severe headache and visual disturbances are related to severe vasoconstriction and in a severe increase in blood pressure. Epigastric pain is related to hepatic dysfunction. Ankle edema is a common thing during the third trimester of pregnancy. However, the facial edema is associated with increased fluid retention and the progression from mild to severe pre-eclampsia. Increased energy levels aren't associated with a progression of the client's pre-eclampsia or the development of the complications. In fact, some women are reporting an "energy spurt" before the onset of labor. A mild back-ache is just a common discomfort of pregnancy, unrelated to a progression of the client's pre-eclampsia. It also may be associated with bed rest when the mattress is not firm. Some multi-parous women have reported a mild backache as a sign of impending labor.</span>
