You want to test pentapeptides (short peptides with only five amino acids) for their ability to bind to and inhibit a particular

receptor. To do this, you set out to synthesize all possible pentapeptides and test each individually. Assuming you’ll use just the 20 common amino acids, how many different pentapeptides will you have to test for receptor binding

4 0

Answer:

The correct answer is 3200000.

Explanation:

If there is only one amino acid in the peptide, the probable number of combinations would be 20. If there is only two amino acid in the peptide, the probable number of combinations will be 20^2. Similarly, for three amino acids in the peptide it would be 20^3 and for four it would be 20^4.  

Thus, in the case of pentapeptide, that is, five amino acids in a peptide, the probable number of combinations will be 20^5, which comes out to be 3200000. Thus, the total number of different pentapeptides will be 3200000 that needs to be tested for receptor binding.

dem82 [27]

One negative side effect of with anaerobic synthesis of energy is that a by product of glycolysis is lactic acid

lactic acid cause muscle fatigue and post exercise  muscle soreness. when you exercise the body uses oxygen to break down glucose for energy. when one do intensive exercise, oxygen may not be enough therefore lactic acid is produced.

You have a culture of yeast that is at a concentration of 6.74 x 10^6 cells/ml. You dilute the sample 1:100, and then 1:100 agai
kramer

Answer:

22 cells

Explanation:

The concentration of numbers of cells = 6.74 x 10⁶ cells/ml

Dilution stages includes =  1:100  ;     1:100    &        1:3

The consecutive dilution stages can be calculated as:

= (6.74 x 10⁶) × (1/100)(1/100)(1/3)

=  222.42 cells/ml

= 2.22 × 10² cells/ml

So after addition  0.1 ml of the final dilution to a spread plate, the number of CFUs ( Colony forming units) we expect to count will be:

= (2.22 × 10² cells/ml)(0.1 ml)

= 22.2 cells

≅ 22 cells.
