Answer:

Acetylcholinesterase enzyme inhibitors are limiting the hydrolysis process of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, increasing its availability and interaction with specific receptors.

Explanation:

Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter that aims to stimulate or inhibit the activity of a tissue, by stimulating nicotinic and muscarinic receptors. An example of this is the action of acetylcholine on nicotinic receptors present in the muscle, which promote muscle contraction.

Acetylcholinesterase is responsible for hydrolyzing acetylcholine to make the effect on a receptor end.

In degenerative diseases of the nervous system -such as Alzheimer's- the activity of acetylcholine decreases, so reversible acetylcholinesterase inhibitors are used to limit the neurotransmitter hydrolysis process, increase its bioavailability, and allow the effect of acetylcholine on muscarinic brain receptors.

According to Chargoff rule, if a sample of DNA is 32% Adenine, what is the percentage of Guanine?​
zepelin [54]

Answer:

18%

Explanation:

Chargaff's rule states that A = T and C = G

The equation for this must be A + C = T + G

A and T should both be .32 since they're equal

--> .32 + C = .32 + G

Both sides must equal each other by .50

.50 - .32 = .18

.18 × 100 = 18% Guanine and also 18% Cytosine

What is the principle of microsublimation of identification of crude drugs?​
bezimeni [28]

Explanation:

Crude drugs are vegetable or animal drugs[clarification needed] that contain natural substances that have undergone only the processes of collection and drying[dubious – discuss]. The term natural substances refers to those substances found in nature that have not had man-made changes made in their molecular structure. They are used as medicine for human being and animal, internally and externally for curing disease, e.g., Senna and Cinchona.

A crude drug is any naturally occurring, unrefined substance derived from organic or inorganic sources such as plant, animal, bacteria, organs or whole organisms intended for use in the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease in humans or other animals.
