Why are uncompetitive andmixed inhibitors generally considered to

Biology
1 answer:
Wittaler [7]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The uncompetitive and mixed inhibitors are not affected by the substrate concentration while inhibition by a competitive inhibitor can be overcome by increasing the concentration of the substrate.

Explanation:

A competitive inhibitor competes with the substrate for the active site of the enzyme. When the competitive inhibitor combines with the enzyme and forms the enzyme-inhibitor complex (EI complex), the substrate cannot bind to the active site. However, the inhibition by competitive inhibitor can be overcome by increasing the substrate concentration around the enzyme which in turn would allow the substrate to bind to the active site and the reaction would proceed.  

On the other hand, an uncompetitive inhibitor binds to the site at the enzyme different from the active site. Once the ES complex is formed, the uncompetitive inhibitor joins the complex to inhibit the enzymatic activity.  

Likewise, a mixed inhibitor also occupies a site on the enzyme distinct from the active site for the substrate. A mixed inhibitor binds to the enzyme or ES complex to inhibit the reaction.  

Since the binding site for uncompetitive and mixed inhibitors are distinct from the substrate-binding site on the enzyme, increasing the substrate concentration can not overcome the inhibition.

What generally causes thymine dimers to form in a strand of dna, and why are thymine dimers a problem?.
valentina_108 [34]

Ultraviolet light can cause thymine dimers, potentially creating a mutation that could lead to cancer.

<h3>What  Causes Thymine Dimers ?</h3>

In a single POLYNUCLEOTIDE CHAIN a pair of THYMINE residues  that have become chemically bonded by the action of ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT. The lesion can inhibit DNA replication unless repaired.

Pyrimidine Dimers or thymine dimers  are usually covalent links between adjacent pyrimidine bases on the same strand of DNA.

Thymine dimers distorts the DNA shape and prevents the accurate copying of DNA, which causes mutations.

Answer:

Denitrification = bacteria convert nitrates into nitrogen gas.

Denitrification occurs when nitrogen is removed from the soil and this happens when bacteria concert nitrites back to Nitrogen gas.

Nitrification = Bacteria convert ammonia to nitrites and nitrates.

Nitrification is the process by which bacteria concert ammonia made from ammonification into useful organic compounds like nitrites.

Nitrogen fixation = bacteria break down waste products and return nitrogen to the soil.

Nitrogen fixation is when bacteria return nitrogen to the soil by breaking down waste products that fall into the soil.

Ammonification = bacteria convert atmospheric nitrogen to ammonia.

During ammonification, bacteria converts nitrogen compounds to Ammonia or Ammonium.

Assimilation = Plants and animals take in and use nitrogen compounds.

Assimilation then occurs when plants take in these nitrogen compounds and use them. Animals will get these compounds by eating the plants.

Swimmers itch is an initial symptom of which of the following?A. tularemiaB. schistosomiasisC. Chagas diseaseD. Lyme diseaseE. m
bogdanovich [222]

Answer: B. schistosomiasis

Explanation:

Swimmer's itch is also called as cercarial dermatitis. It appears as a skin rash. It is typically an allergic reaction which is caused by a parasite.

Swimmer's itch is the symptom of Schistosomiasis. It is a disease which is also called as snail fever. It is caused by the parasitic flatworm called as schistosomes. This parasite infects the urinary tract and intestine in humans. Other symptoms include the diarrhea, abdominal pain, bloody stool and blood in the urine.
