Now let's look at the specific amino acid interactions at the dimer interface that link the two monomers together into the large

r homodimer structure. Which of the following accurately describes the specific interactions that stabilize the dimer structure?
a) Ionic bonds between phe106 and ile108 of one monomer and ile272 and leu273 of the other monomer. Hydrophobic interactions between arg96 and arg103 of one monomer and glu300 and glu304 of the other monomer.
b) Hydrophobic interactions between phe106 and ile108 of one monomer and ile272 and leu273 of the other monomer. Ionic bonds between arg96 and arg103 of one monomer and glu300 and glu304 of the other monomer.
c) Hydrophobic interactions between phe106 and ile108 of one monomer and ile272 and leu273 of the other monomer. Hydrophobic interactions between arg96 and arg103 of one monomer and glu300 and glu304 of the other monomer.
d) Ionic bonds between phe106 and ile108 of one monomer and ile272 and leu273 of the other monomer. Ionic bonds between arg96 and arg103 of one monomer and glu300 and glu304 of the other monomer.

Answer:

Correct answer is B

Explanation:

 A dimer is a molecule consisting of two identical halves, formed by joining two identical molecules, sometimes with a single atom acting as a bridge.

A monomer is a relatively small molecule which can be covalently bonded to other monomers to form a polymer.

Specific amino acid molecular interactions at the dimer interface differs from species to species and from phase to phase here are some possibilities of the hydrophobic effect;

• no net change in favorable or unfavorable molecular interactions leading to decrease in rotational, translational, vibrational degrees of freedom of water (or some free radicals)

• increase in favorable molecular interactions of bridge (maybe cyclohexane) causing a decrease in rotational, translational, vibrational degrees of freedom of bridge (cyclohexane)

Entropy change is key to molecular interactions of these kinds. The molecular interactions of dimer-interface of amino acid residues are important for the stability of the enzyme function it contribute to the subunit-subunit interactions in this or the conformational stability of the monomersin context.

According to the question,

Hydrophobic interactions between phe106 and ile108 of one monomer and ile272 and leu273 of the other monomer explains the hydrophobic effect.

Ionic bonds between arg96 and arg103 of one monomer and glu300 and glu304 of the other monomer explains the steric effect for stability.

The bridge between these above gives a solid dimer polymer.

Answer:

Option b) Hydrophobic interactions between phe106 and ile108 of one monomer and ile272 and leu273 of the other monomer. Ionic bonds between arg96 and arg103 of one monomer and glu300 and glu304 of the other monomer.

Explanation:

In the structure, there are ionic hydrogen bonds and salt bridges between the 42, R221, and D24. These interactions have a dynamic impact on the activity and structural stability of the protein nature.

The hydrophobic interactions at the interfaces also contribute in the stabilization of the protein structure.

What effect do aldehydes have on microbial organisms? Group of answer choices
ivanzaharov [21]

They damage proteins and DNA.

Explanation:

Aldehydes damage proteins and DNA of microbial organisms. They typically inhibits the growth of microbial organisms by causing alteration to proteins and DNA.

  • They cause damage to proteins ans are used as disinfectants.
  • The aldehydes generally cross link functional groups in proteins and short changes their structures.
  • Formalin is one example that is used to arrest bacteria growth and it is an aldehyde.
