What would happen if a amino acid sequence of an enzyme was formed incorrectly

1 answer:

3 0

If an amino acid sequence is formed incorrectly (i.e. DNA point mutations or frameshift mutations) then the enzyme can either be dysfunctional or non-functional; both of which lead to the end point of enzyme deficiency and overt disease. For example, the mutation of the enzyme glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase or G6PD decreases the production of antioxidants which can lead to increased hemolysis of red blood cells causing the clinical manifestation of jaundice (since the end point of metabolism of hemoglobin is bilirubin).

What is the relationship between ligaments, bones and joints?

kakasveta [241]

Ligaments connect one bone to another bone. Therefore, they allow a joint to form, because joints are where two or more bones connect.

Take your knee joint for instance (***see attached pic***). The knee joint is formed by the connection of the femur (your thigh bone), the tibia (your shin bone), and the fibula (the other long bone in your lower leg). In order for all of these bones to connect there are many ligaments in the knee joint that keep the bones connected and in place. A well known example of one of these ligaments in the knee joint is the ACL (anterior crucate ligament), which is commonly torn in sports, namely football. Most people have heard of this ligament because it receives a lot of media attention since tearing it can greatly alter or even end professional athletes' careers.
