Protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) is a protein folding enzyme that catalyzes disulfide–sulfhydryl exchange reactions. Ribonuclea

se is an enzyme with two β-sheets, three α-helices, and four disulfide bridges critical to the stability of its structure. PDI rapidly converts inactive, scrambled ribonuclease to enzymatically active ribonuclease. This process is driven by the decrease in free energy as the scrambled conformations are converted into the stable, active conformation of the enzyme. In contrast, PDI rapidly inactivates insulin. What does PDI's effect on insulin imply about the structure of insulin? The three‑dimensional shape of insulin does not contain any disulfide bonds. The active conformation of insulin has more β-sheets than α-helices. The amino acid sequence of insulin is similar to the amino acid sequence of ribonuclease. The active conformation of insulin is not the most thermodynamically preferred form.

Answer:

The effect of protein disulfide isomerase on insulin signifies that the active conformation of insulin is not the most thermodynamically favored form. The main reason behind this is that the protein disulfide isomerase seems to decline the free energy, that is, it makes them more steady form predominant.  

In the case of insulin, the prevalence of the stable form results in its inactivation. Thus, it signifies that the active form is not thermodynamically stable.

Name two living organisms whose shapes have five-fold rotational symmetry
skad [1K]
Rotational symmetry is radial symmetry which means that the shape is the same after several rotations. In five-fold rotational symmetry<span> the number of distinct orientations in which the object looks the same is five. </span>
Living organisms whose shapes have five-fold rotational symmetry are sea stars (starfish) and sea urchin. They <span>can be mapped onto itself through rotation about a central point by an angle of 2π/5. </span>

How much fertilizer is applied each year on lawns throughout the united states?
Stells [14]

Answer:

1.8 pounds  of Nitrogen per year; (based on 1000 square feet per application) for cool season grasses.

Explanation:

The above application shows  an average of 0.9 pounds of inorganic and organic  nitrogen per 1000 square feet per application . Therefore not more than 0.9 pounds of nitrogen will be needed  per application.And for a whole year 1.8 pounds of Nitrogen per year will be needed.

This calculation was based on 1000 per square.But most lawn are not 1000 per square, therefore calculation can be done using the 1000 per squares as the  reference point .

AMMONIA and its solutions, AMMONIUM NITRATE AND UREA  (which is organic source)<u>are the sources of this Nitrogen</u>.

Urea is non -explosive in nature and solid. However, ammonia and ammonium Nitrate are both explosive.
