You are researching a cytoplasmic protein associated with a nerve disorder. The native form of the enzyme appears to be globular

protein; however, when a sample of the purified protein is treated with a chemical that reduces disulfide bonds, the enzymatic activity decreases dramatically and multiple globular proteins can be detected in the sample. What does this tell you about the protein?

Answer:

This signifies that the protein primarily comprises multiple polypeptide chains connected together with the help of disulfide bonds. The enzymes may be found in the form of dimers, trimers, or tetramers. Various examples of dimers, trimers, and tetramer proteins are known, of them, NEMOs dimers are considered to be held by disulfide bonds.  

Thus, it can be hypothesized that the enzyme under examination is a multimer held in combination by disulfide bonds, with each comprising catalytic sites. On breaking of disulfide bonds, the enzyme dissociates into its many single units.  

This illustrates the reduction in catalytic activity. Each active site in a single unit will work, however, at a gradual rate. This also shows detection of multiple globular proteins after disulfide reduction.

ANTONII [103]

The responses observed in type IV hypersensitivities result from the action of T cells and phagocytes.

Hypersensitivity IV type, also called delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH), involves T cell-antigen interactions that cause activation and secretion of cytokines. This type of hypersensitivity requires sensitized lymphocytes that respond 24–48 hours after exposure to soluble antigens. A type IV hypersensitivity reaction is a cell-mediated reaction that can occur in response to contact with certain allergens, resulting in what is called contact dermatitis, or in response to certain diagnostic procedures such as the tuberculin skin test. Certain allergens need to be avoided to treat this condition. Type IV hypersensitivity response is observed results from the action of T cells and macrophages while other types are mediated by antibodies. This reaction  occurs at least 1–3 days after the initial exposure. Type IV hypersensitivity is the mechanism of many autoimmune disorders.

Each isotope has a special name derived from Latin (protium, deuterium, and tritium). What structural feature do these names ref
Eduardwww [97]

An isotope of any element is the same, with a variation in the neutrons of the nucleus.

The mass number change but the atomic number doesn't.

In this case, protium, deuterium, and tritium are all hydrogen isotopes.

Protium is 1H or Hydrogen-1 is without neutrons.

Deuterium is 2H  or Hydrogen-2 has one neutron.

Tritium is 3H or Hydrogen-3 has two neutrons.
