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.

Genetic Variation:Question 8
Maurinko [17]

Answer: Genetic variation can be caused by mutation (which can create entirely new alleles in a population), random mating, random fertilization, and recombination between homologous chromosomes during meiosis (which reshuffles alleles within an organism's offspring).

By the end of meiosis, the resulting reproductive cells, or gametes, each have 23 genetically unique chromosomes. The overall process of meiosis produces four daughter cells from one single parent cell.

Explanation:

During meiosis, homologous chromosomes (1 from each parent) pair along their lengths. The chromosomes cross over at points called chiasma. At each chiasma, the chromosomes break and rejoin, trading some of their genes. This recombination results in genetic variation.

How can the presence of one species benefit another in the same ecosystem
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

The different species present in an ecosystem make the ecosystem balanced.  The species of an ecosystem interact with one another in one form or the other. For example, the presence of a plant species will provide food for the abundant types of herbivores present in an ecosystem. A predator might feed on many types of preys. Hence, the presence of different preys will reduce the chances of a species from becoming wiped out from the ecosystem. Hence, all the organisms in an ecosystem are dependent on another in some way or the other.

Which is an example of genetic engineering?​
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

the insulin

Explanation:

first we take the gene from human cells and we mix them together with bacterial dna.we place them in a fermentation vessel where it will then multiply. then it create the insulin which we use it for people who suffer from diabete.
