The pKa for the side chain of histidine is 6.0. What is the ratio of the deprotonated imidazole side chain to the protonated sid

Answer:

When the pKa is 6.0, we can determine the fraction of protonated H is by:

pH = pKa + log [A]/[HA]

Where

A = Deprotonated imidazole side

HA = Protonated side

Given, pH = 5.0

5 = 6 + log [A]/[HA]

log [A]/[HA] = -1 (take antilog of both side)

[A]/[HA] = 0.1

The ratio of the deprotonated imidazole side chain to the protonated side chain at pH 5.0 = 0.1

Given, pH = 7.5

7.5 = 6 + log [A]/[HA]

log [A]/[HA] = 1.5 (take antilog of both sides)

[A]/[HA] = 31.62

The ratio of the deprotonated imidazole side chain to the protonated side chain at pH 5.0 = 31.62

Describe stages of cell signaling: a. List and describe the three stages of cell signaling. b. List the three types of receptors
liraira [26]

Answer:

a.There are three signaling pathway

1- Reception in which molecule binds to receptor

2- Signal transduction in which activation of intracellular pathway and enzyme occur.

3- Cellular response in which specific response of cell occur according to receptor and ligand.

b. Three types of receptors are

1- autocrine

2- paracrine

3- endocrine.

Explanation:

autocrine receptors are signaling pathway in which cell releases its molecule and bind to its own cell receptor example cancer cells while paracrine in which ligand binds to other nearby cell receptor and it is used during development  and in endocrine cell target distinct cell and travel through blood stream like hormones functioning.
