Biochemistry The famous Anfinsen protein folding experiment was the first to show that the amino acid sequence of a protein can

be sufficient to determine its structure. This experiment used the enzyme ribonuclease A, which contains four disulfide bonds. First, urea and beta-mercaptoethanol were added to a solution of RNase A, with the result that protein activity was lost. Next, urea was slowly removed by dialysis. Finally, beeta-mercaptoethanol was removed by dialysis, with the result that almost all of the original protein activity was regained. What happens when the order of the last two steps is swapped: beta-mercaptoethanol is removed first, then urea is removed.
A) Non-native disulfide bonds form after beta-mercaptoethanol is removed, so the protein cannot refold correctly
B) Half the original activity is regained
C) The original disulfide bonds reform, but the protein still cannot refold
D) The disulfide bonds do not reform, but activity is regained anyway
E) The protein still refolds the same way.

Answer:

The A option is the correct answer: Non-native disulfide bonds form after beta-mercaptoethanol is removed, so the protein cannot refold correctly

Explanation:

Beta-Mercaptoehanol is responsible to reduce the four disulfide bonds present in ARNase; Urea deals with non covalente bonds.  In presence of both ARNase is denatured.

If Urea is first removed by dialysis, and later is removed Beta-Mercaptoethanol, the enzyme recovers ist activity.

If Beta-Mercaptoethanol is first removed, disulfide bonds different from native use to be formed.  As a result ARNase is not an active enzyme

Which statement about the balanced equations for nuclear and chemical changes is correct? (1 point)
iris [78.8K]

The true statement about the balanced equations for nuclear and chemical changes is; both are balanced according to the total mass before and after the change.

A basic law in science is called the law of conservation of mass. Its general statement is that mass can neither be created nor destroyed.

Both in chemical and nuclear changes, mass is involved and in both cases, the law of conservation of mass strictly applies.

This means that for both chemical and nuclear changes; total mass before reaction must be equal to total mass after reaction.

Hence, both reactions are balanced according to the total mass before and after the change.

Imagine that you are observing an enzyme-catalyzed reaction in lab. every time you add more enzyme, the reaction rate increases
tester [92]

Enzymes catalyze the chemical reactions, they act upon the reaction substrates and speed up the reaction. Enzymes have active sites, the places where the reaction substrates interact with the enzyme bringing about the conversion of substrates to products. So, as the enzyme concentration increases the rate of reaction increases till a point where the rate is leveled off. The rate does not further increase, as the substrate might have become limiting at that point. All the available amount of substrate would have been associated with the active sites of the enzymes. So, at that point although there is enough catalyst, lack of substrate would limit the rate of reaction.
