In a particular enzyme, an alanine residue is located in a cleft where the substrate binds. A mutation that changes this residue

to a glycine has little effect on activity; however, another mutation, which changes the alanine to a glutamate residue, leads to a complete loss of activity. Provide a brief explanation for these observations.

5 0

Explanation:

There are non-polar side chains also present in alanine. And, these non-polar side chains are involved in some hydrophobic interactions in active sideand then it changes into polar amino acid glutamate that will destroy the hydrophobic interaction.

Whereas in glycine there is only hydrogen present in the side chain therefore, it will not affect much.

The mechanism for producing a concentrated urine involves all of the following except
avanturin [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is "obligatory water reabsorption in the proximal convoluted tubule".

Explanation:

The mechanism for producing concentrated urine cannot include the obligatory reabsorption of water in the proximal convoluted tubule since this process is part of the nephron, the system that filters the blood. Glucose and amino acids are reabsorbed almost entirely, as are approximately 70% of filtered potassium and 80% of bicarbonate.

0.785 moles of N2,fill a balloon at 1.5 atm and 301 K.<br> What is the volume of the balloon?
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

V = 12.93 L

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles = 0.785 mol

Pressure of balloon = 1.5 atm

Temperature = 301 K

Volume of balloon = ?

Solution:

The given problem will be solve by using general gas equation,

PV = nRT

P= Pressure

V = volume

n = number of moles

R = general gas constant = 0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K  

T = temperature in kelvin

Now we will put the values.

V = nRT/P

V = 0.785 mol × 0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K × 301 K / 1.5 atm

V = 19.4 L /1.5

V = 12.93 L

Which of the following describes a covalent bond?
BaLLatris [955]

I think it is C, because a covalent bond is a distribution of 2 atoms to 1 electron, meaning they are sharing and not exchanging, and the electronegravity would be above 1.7
