Most organisms, including humans, need to maintain a certain pH within a fairly, narrow range in order to sustain life. This is achieved through a compound called buffer that can resist changes in pH, which is key to maintaining stable hydrogen ions. For instance, human blood needs to keep its pH at around 7.4 so human can survive.

<span>A buffer is able to resist pH change because the two components (conjugate acid and conjugate base) are both present in appreciable amounts at equilibrium and are able to neutralize small amounts of other acids and bases (in the form of H 3O + and OH -) when the are added to the solution.</span>Feb 7, 2016

Adenylate cyclases (ACs) are the membrane-bound glycoproteins that convert ATP to cAMP and pyrophosphate.
sasho [114]

Adenylate cyclases (ACs) are the membrane-bound glycoproteins that convert ATP to cAMP and pyrophosphate.

When activated by G-protein Gs, adenylate cyclases (ACs), which are membrane-bound glycoproteins, catalyze the synthesis of cAMP from ATP.

Different AC isoforms are widely expressed in various tissues that participate in regulatory systems in response to particular stimuli.

Humans have 9 different AC isoforms, with AC5 and AC6 thought to be particularly important for cardiac activities.

Nitric oxide has an impact on the activity of AC6, hence the protein's nitrosylation may control how it works. However, little is known about the structural variables that affect nitrosylation in ACs and how they relate to G's.

We predict the cysteines that are prone to nitrosylation using this 3D model, and we use virtual ligand screening to find potential new AC6 ligands.

According to our model, the AC-Gs interface's Cys174 in G's and Cys1004 in AC6 (subunit C2) are two potential residues that could experience reversible nitrosylation.

What is turgor what causes it and what does it do for a plant
Rasek [7]

Pressure exerted by fluid in a cell that presses the cell membrane against the cell wall. Turgor is what makes living plant tissue rigid. Loss of turgor, resulting from the loss of water from plant cells, causes flowers and leaves to wilt.
