Protein X is a protein that is composed of four subunits of equal size--alpha, beta, delta, and gamma--that are bound by either

noncovalent interactions or disulfide bridges. Only the beta and delta subunits are bound to each other by disulfide bridges. How many bands would you expect to see in an SDS PAGE experiment in which beta-mercaptoethanol, a reducing agent, is used?

Answer:

The correct answer is e3

Explanation:

The given protein in the question proteib X contain four subunits of equal size alpha,beta,delta and gamma which are bound by either noncovalent interactions or disulfide bridges and only beta and delta subunits are bound to each other by disulfide bridges.

  As a result when the protein will undergo fragmentation it will generate 3 bands because the interaction that is present between alpha and beta subunit will break resulting in the formation of 2 bands. Now the most important fact is that the beta subunit is linked to delta subunit by di sulfide bond so when betamarcaptoethanol will act on protein X it will break the disulsulfide bond present between the beta and delta subunit to reduce both the subunit.

  Finally the interaction that is present between delta subunit and gamma subunit will be broken down to release the delta subunit which will form a single band during SDS PAGE..

Proteins

Explanation:

Proteins are the most diverse biomolecule on earth, performing many functions required for life. Protein enzymes are biological catalyst, maintaining life by regulation where and when cellular reactions occur.

-antibodies are proteins that are synthesized by an animal in response to the presence of a foreign substance in our body called an antigen. They play a great role in the immune system and are usually found in blood and other bodily fluids.

Answer:

Egg white and amino acid solution.

Explanation:

Egg white and amino acid solution are the two foods that are used for building of body parts because they have proteins in them that is responsible for the building of muscles of in human body. There are two components of egg i.e. white and yellow part. White is the proteinic part whereas yellow parts having fats and other nutrients. Amino acid solution has amino acids which is considered as the building block from which protein is made.

What is the ideal microbiome?????please help asap
Aleks04 [339]

Embracing the complexity of the microbiome means doing away with pat conceptions of its function.

Your body is a habitat to trillions of microscopic organisms known, collectively, as your microbiome. Today, the microbiome is one of the hottest areas of biological research, and for good reason. This body-wide ecosystem not only adapts to our diets, lifestyles, and medications, it's also been shown hold sway over our health. The implications for personalized medicine seem clear – the more we understand about the microbiome, the more we can do to condition, or control it to our liking.

But to what end? To shepherd one's microbiome toward some idealized state of healthiness would first require that such a state exists. What does such a state look like? Nobody knows, because an ideal microbiome is almost certainly an illusion. As science writer Ed Yong opines in today's New York Times, contrary to claims by the probiotic industry and the booming genre of microbiome diet books, any system as "complex, varied, ever changing and context-dependent" as the microbiome will, by its very nature, resist easy categorization:

The microbiome is the sum of our experiences throughout our lives: the genes we inherited, the drugs we took, the food we ate, the hands we shook. It is unlikely to yield one-size-fits-all solutions to modern maladies.

We cling to the desire for simple panaceas that will bestow good health with minimal effort. But biology is rarely that charitable. So we need to learn how tweaking our diets, lifestyles and environments can nudge and shape the ecosystems in our bodies. And we need ways of regularly monitoring a person's microbiome to understand how its members flicker over time, and whether certain communities are more steadfast than others.
