One method for separating polypeptides makes use of their different solubilities. The solubility of large polypeptides in water

depends upon the relative polarity of their R groups, particularly on the number of ionized groups: the more ionized groups there are, the more soluble the polypeptide.
1. Which of each pair of the polypeptides that follow is more soluble at the indicated pH?
(a) (Gly)20 or (Lys-Ala)3 at pH 7.0:
O (Gly)20
O (Lys-Ala)3
(b) (Glu)20 or (Phe-Met)3 at pH 7.0
O (Glu)20
O (Phe-Met)3

Answer:

(a) (Glu)zo or(Phe-Met)3 at pH 7.0

O (Glu)zo ✔

O (Phe-Met)s ❌

(b) (Gly) zo or (Lys-Ala)3 at pH 7.0:

O (Gly12) ❌

O (Lys-Ala)✔

(c) (Ala-Asp-Gly)s or (Asn-Ser-His)s at pH 3.0:

O (Asn-Ser-His)s ✔

O (Ala-Asp-Gly)s ❌

(d) (Ala-Ser-Gly)s or (Asn-Ser-His)s at pH 6.0:

O(Ala-Ser-Gly)s ❌

O (Asn-Ser-Hish)s ✔

Explanation:

Polypeptides that has polar or charged side chains are more soluble than polypeptides with nonpolar side chains.

(a) At ph 7.0

(Glu)20 is negatively charged at pH 7 and more soluble

(Phe-Met)3 is observed to be less polar and less soluble

(b)At ph 7.0

(Lys-Ala)3 is positively charged (polar) and more soluble

(Gly)20 is uncharged as only the amino- and carboxyl-terminal groups are charged as its less polar and less soluble too.

(c) At pH 6.0

(Asn-Ser-His)5 has polar Asn side chains and partially protonated His side chains and it's more soluble unlike the (Ala-Asp-Gly)s at that pH.

(d) At pH 3.0

(Asn-Ser-His)s as partially protonated carboxylate groups of Asp residues and it is also neutral but the imidazole groups of His residues are fully protonated and positively charged. Hence it's more soluble than the (Ala-Ser-Gly)s at that particular pH.

Describe the purpose of the of the glycoprotein spikes found on some enveloped viruses.
Ierofanga [76]
A peplomer is a glycoprotein spike on a viral capsid or viral envelope. These protrusions will only bind to certain receptors on the host cell; they are essential for both host specificity and viral infectivity.

Answer:

The CTL has specific receptors that can recognize infected or damaged cells.

Explanation:

The cytotoxic T cells (CTL) is a type of white blood cells that specifically helps in destroying virus-infected cells (also damaged cells and cancer cells).

This type of cells has a special receptor called T-cells receptors (TCR) which ones recognize specific antigens (molecule that stimulate the immune systems because are “strange” to them). Virus inside a cell could bind to a special molecule called class I MHC, this molecule moves the virus to the surface of the cell where it can be recognized by a CD8+ specific antigen-receptor of the CTL.

1. What are the six kingdoms in the six-kingdom
Digiron [165]
1) The six kingdoms in the six-kingdom system of classification are Archaebacteria, Eubacteria, Protista, Fungi , Plantae and Animalia
2)The two things that make archaebacteria difficult to study are that archaebacteria lived only in these extreme environments and that we don't know how to feed them for studying them
3) Protista is the most heterogeneous kingdom in terms of morphology
4) The difference between kingdom and domain is that the kingdom is one of the five major groups of living organisms while the domain is one of the three taxonomic categories of living organisms above the kingdom level.

HELP SOS PLEASE !!!!! (ONLY CORRECT ANSWERS PLEASE)
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

1- Option A) describes an index fossil. Trilobite existed for a short time, but was abundant and lived in many locations.

2- Option B) Continents were once joined and have since drifted apart.

Explanation:

1) Fossils are animal and vegetable rests found in different strata of sedimentary rocks. Sedimentary layers deposit chronologically, so they are used to reflect history. They keep in each layer some of the forms of life that inhabited that area in the past. These fossils turn to be very useful while dating ages. The term Index fossils refer to those fossils that only existed in a given era or geological period during evolution.  

Index fossils must:    

• Be easily recognizable and distinguishable from all the other fossils

• Have lived in a relatively short geological period

• Present a wide geographic distribution

• Have lived in different sedimentary basins

• Appear in different types of rocks

• Be abundant

<em>A) Trilobite existed for a short time, but was abundant and lived in many locations. </em>The species accomplish the requirements. It is easily recognizable, had a wide geographic distribution, was abundant, and lived for a short time.  

2) The tectonic plates theory states that there is a continual movement of the crust. It explains the movement of the different plates and their directions and interactions. The continental drift theory explains how these movements have been taking place since millions of years ago. When continents were together in a unique continent, many species used to inhabit it. When plates started to separate, they took some of these species that got apart by the ocean. Some species were already dead and fossilized, while some other organisms died during continental drift and got fossilized after the divergence. <em>The existence of the same fossils, placed in the same layers and of the same age, suggests that they used to inhabit the same area and died during the same time, meaning that continents were together when they got fossilized. </em>
