Some enzymes have one or more sulfhydryl (thiol) groups that are important to enzymatic activity but that can react upon standin

g in solution to form inactive disulfide bonds.
Thiol reagents, such as 1,4-dithiothreitol (DTT), are often added to the solutions of such proteins to protect them from this reaction and to reverse it when it occurs. (The reverse reaction works best at slightly alkaline pH.) Draw the product formed when DTT reacts with a protein disulfide bond to liberate the free thiol groups. Which of the following occurs in this reaction? A. The protein disulfide is oxidized.
B. The protein disulfide is reduced.
C. DTT is reduced.
D. DTT is oxidized.

Answer:

A. Protein disulfide is oxidized.

Explanation:

When thiol reagents are introduced with some protein solutions they react with molecules of disulfide and oxidize the protein. There occurs inter-conversion of thiol molecules into free disulfide molecules. The DTT reduces the disulfide molecules bonds of proteins and it starts to peptide.

A block of iron has a mass of 150 g and a volume of 20 ml. What is the density of iron? *
shtirl [24]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 7.50 g/mL</h3>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

density =  \frac{mass}{volume} \\

From the question

mass of iron = 150 g

volume = 20 mL

We have

density =  \frac{150}{20}  =  \frac{15}{2}  \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>7.50 g/mL</h3>

Hope this helps you

A machine shop worker records the mass of an aluminum cube as 176 g. If one side of the cube measures 4 cm, what is the density
forsale [732]

Answer:

Explanation:

So we take the given quotient:

ρ=176⋅g4⋅cm×4⋅cm×4⋅cm = 176⋅g64⋅cm3 = ??g⋅cm−3.

Would the cube float or sink in water? Why

How is bacteria on mars counted as life but a heartbeat on earth not?
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

It is considered life, but that doesn’t have to do much with abortion.

We kill things all the time. Unless you are vegetarian, lots of animals are killed to give you meat. Even if you are, you’ll probably swat a mosquito that’s trying to bite you. And what about the bacteria inside your body that are constantly killed to keep you healthy?

The question is how much this life is worth. This becomes more a question of ethics, but I think we can all agree a human life is worth a lot. So killing humans is wrong. What about somewhat intelligent animals? Well, killing them just for the fun of it or because you can is wrong as well I think.Most people think that’s okay, although some people will disagree and become vegetarians.

Insect life is worth less, and killing an insect is seen by most people as okay as long as you have even a small reason for it (like being irritated by a buzzing fly).

And all the way on the bottom are bacteria. They are not conscious, even though alive.

Sorry about the first answer. I didn't look at the question carefully since I wasn't wearing my glasses.

If this doesn't help than I'm sorry.
