Xigris (Drotrecogin alfa) is not an antibiotic but is approved for the specific indication of sepsis because of its anticoagulant properties.

Xigris (Drotrecogin alfa) is a drug approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the reduction of mortality in adult patients with severe sepsis who have a high risk of death. Xigris (Drotrecogin alfa) is placed under the class of serine proteases and it has anticoagulant, anti-thrombotic, anti-inflammatory, and profibrinolytic properties.

Answer;

Drotrecogin Alfa (xigris)

Explanation;

Xigris (drotrecogin alfa (activated)) is a recombinant form of human activated protein C. Drotrecogin alfa (activated) is a serine protease with the same amino acid sequence as human plasma-derived activated protein C.

Xigris (drotrecogin alfa)  is indicated or used  for the reduction of mortality in adult patients with severe sepsis (sepsis associated with acute organ dysfunction) who have a high risk of death.

What important event in translation happens after the incoming trna is in place?
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

Molecules  carrying amino acids are positioned in the  ribosome’s two docking sites.

Explanation:

A ribosome is a molecular machine that  coordinates protein assembly.

  • A ribosome brings together correctly the  mRNA, which needs to be translated, and  the tRNA, which assists in the translation process, to come together correctly.
  • During translation, tRNA molecules  carrying amino acids are positioned in the  ribosome’s two docking sites.
  • After the translation, the tRNA disassemble and is being reused many times.

Can same enzyme have different kinetics for different substrates? What is the biological significance that?
ad-work [718]

An enzyme possesses different kinetics for different substrates as a result of this different products are formed.

Discussion:

  • Multi-substrate reactions are governed by intricate rate equations that specify how and in what order the substrates bind. If substrate B is altered while the amount of substrate A remains constant, the study of these reactions becomes considerably easier. The enzyme behaves exactly like a single-substrate enzyme in these circumstances, and a plot of v by [S] yields the actual KM and Vmax constants for substrate B.
  • These results can be utilized to determine the reaction's mechanism if a series of such measurements are carried out at various fixed concentrations of A. There are two different sorts of mechanisms for an enzyme that accepts two substrates, A and B, and converts them into two products, P and Q: ternary complex and ping-pong.

The genetic variation would have to come from random events: False
Only alternate generations would express any genetic variable: False
Body cell mutations would be the only source of heritable genetic variation: False
There would be no new heritable genetic variation possible in the population: True
