If the ATP-binding site of an enzyme is buried in the interior of the enzyme, in a hydrophobic environment, is the ionic interac

tion between enzyme and substrate stronger or weaker than that same interaction would be on the surface of the enzyme, exposed to water? Why?

Answer:

Stronger; a hydrophobic has lower dielectric constant. The lower the dielectric constant of the interior, the stronger the ionic interactions.

Explanation:

Ionic interactions are the electrostatic interactions between the oppositely charged ions. The strength of ionic interaction depends on the magnitude of the charges on the ions, the distance between the charged groups and the dielectric constant.  

Here, the dielectric constant is the property of the medium in which the ionic interactions are taking place. Dielectric constant represents the number of dipoles present in the medium or solvent. A medium with higher dielectric constant would attract the oppositely charged ions towards its own dipole and would thereby, make the ionic interaction between the ions weaker.

Given that the ionic bonding between substrate and enzyme is taking place in the hydrophobic interior, ionic interactions would be stronger since the hydrophobic medium has a lower dielectric constant.

The lower number of the electric dipoles or their absence in the hydrophobic interior would not attract the oppositely charged groups of substrate and enzyme towards its own dipoles as the water with higher dielectric constant would have done. This would allow stronger ionic interaction between the substrate and the enzyme.

Internal threats are always accidental and stem from poor access controls. Only external attackers intentionally plan and carry
Troyanec [42]

Answer: false

Explanation: External threats are not intentional.

Companies face business risks every day, and those risks are part of every organisation which can be in form of

--- External threats (economic, social , political and Micro threats )are threats or risk that cannot be controlled by a company or predicted with a high level of reliability. Therefore, making it difficult to reduce the associated risks.

-And Internal threats are threats that happen inside the organisations which can be predicted with some reliability, and therefore, provide chances of reducing it.

They both can lead to lower revenue, profits, and financial loss.

Are Radar waves used to re-heat and cook food?
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

I think it would be yes

Explanation:

Microwaves and infrared waves can heat up food but does not make food radioactive. The waves cause vigorous vibration of molecules in food resulting in high temperature that cooks the food.hope this helps if not let me know.
