What effect does the size of an amino acid on the retention factor?

Biology

Anarel [89]2 years ago

According to proteomic data analysis, the N-terminus residues highly influence the retention of amino acids due to their role in ion-pairing. Every amino acid has a retention coefficient factor depending on the N-terminus residues it contains. Therefore, the longer the amino acid the higher the likelihood of it having high N-terminus residues and consequent high retention co-efficient.

<span>The retention factor is a value used by chemists performing thin-layer chromatography which indicates the distance a particular compound traveled across a stationary phase in contrast to the solvent. While the size of an amino acid is not the only factor involved, generally, the larger the amino acid, the slower it will travel, ultimately leading to a smaller retention factor.</span>

Is human development best characterized as a slow, gradual process, or is it best viewed as one of more abrupt change?
ankoles [38]

Answer:

Heyya!

Human development is a slow and gradual process. There seems to be slow and gradual change that becomes abrupt change. The mind has many connections and works according to past habits. A person who seeks to improve themselves will gradually change specific areas within their life. After a while there is a cascade effect that causes linked areas to be altered. Skills and methods that required practice and habit forming transition to being a natural part of life.  When the personality suddenly changes, I use the term evolution. Whenever one occurs, the person will probably see their past self as problematic.
