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 student observes that water in a pot on a burner becomes hotter explain how energy is conserved in the situation
Daniel [21]

  • The water in the pot becomes hotter as a result of heat transfer.

  • <em>Energy can be transferred from a region to another , but there will still the same overall amount of energy</em> ( energy conservation)

  • When a pot containing water  is  placed on the stove and  heat is applied with the burner, there is a flow of heat from the burner to the water.

  • Heat will be transferred from the burner to the pot, then there will be transferred of heat from the pot to the water, the molecules there in the water  will be energized as a result of the heat transfer until the boiling point  is  reached.

  • Energy transfer can take place in three form, this could be conduction, radiation or convention.

  • Convention which is a cyclical process is the one that occurs in fluids only so as a result of convection , the water at the bottom will be heated and the molecules start moving and it will rise till it get to the water at the top of the pot.

<em>Therefore, the water is heated as a result of heat transfer.</em>

What does continental drift and sea floor spreading have in common
Llana [10]

In the early 1900s, a scientist named Alfred Wegener noticed how the continents seem to fit together and developed the Theory of Continental Drift. Continental drift is the theory that continents can drift apart from one other and have done so in the past. Wegner's theory also explained why fossils of the same plant and animal species are found on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. In addition similar types of rock and evidence of the same ancient climatic conditions are found on several continents.

Wegner hypothesized that all the separate continents of today were once joined in a single landmass that he called Pangaea.
