A histidine is involved in an interaction with a glutamic acid that stabilizes the charged form of the histidine, such that the

value of ∆Go for deprotonation is 15 kJ•mol –1 at pH 7.0 and 293 K (calculated using the biochemical standard state). What is the pKa of this histidine

Answer:

pKa of the histidine = 9.67

Explanation:

The relation between standard Gibbs energy and equilibrium constant is shown below as:

\Delta{G^0} =-RT \ln \frac{[His]}{[His+]}

R is Gas constant having value = 0.008314 kJ / K mol  

Given temperature, T = 293 K

Given, \Delta{G^0}=15\ kJ/mol

So,  Applying in the equation as:-

15\ kJ/mol=-0.008314\ kJ/Kmol\times 293\ K\times \ln \frac{[His]}{[His+]}

Thus,

15\ kJ/mol=-0.008314\ kJ/Kmol\times 293\ K\times \ln \frac{[His]}{[His+]}

\frac{[His]}{[His+]}=e^{\frac{15}{-0.008314\times 293}

\frac{[His]}{[His+]}=0.00211

Also, considering:-

pH=pKa+log\frac{[His]}{[His+]}

Given that:- pH = 7.0

So, 7.0=pKa+log0.00211

<u>pKa of the histidine = 9.67</u>

Which of the following does not participate in, nor is a component of, the electron transport chain? (Remember that molecules ca
Yanka [14]

Answer:

A) coenzyme A

Explanation:

The NADH and FADH₂ are the energy rich molecules which are formed in the processes like glycolysis, TCA cycle and the fatty acid oxidation as they contain pair of electrons which have very high transfer potential.

As a result of the energy produced when these molecules transfer their electrons to the oxygen , ATP is generated by a series of electron carriers which collectively is called electron transport chain (ETC).

<u>The components of chain include Fe–S centers, Non-heme, FMN, coenzyme Q, and cytochromes . </u>

The energy derived from the transfer of electrons is used to pump the protons across mitochondrial membrane.

As a result, an electrochemical gradient is generated which results in some energy which is then harnessed by the ATP synthase to form ATP.

Tcecarenko [31]

The atoms in air are combined with oxygen present in the air and when we inhale the air, oxygen is moved into the body then atoms in oxygen are carried by red blood cells the blood is pumped to the lungs and when oxygen is transported to the body organ, the atoms in lungs become the part of human cells.

A recessive gene is described as one that
djyliett [7]

Answer:

<h2>C) may be hidden </h2>

Explanation:

A gene is a unit of heredity which is transferred from parents to offspring and it control the traits.

Alternative form of gene are known as alleles.

Gene may be dominant or recessive

Dominant gene expresses in both homozygous as well as in heterozygous condition, while recessive gene expresses in homozygous condition only, when it present with dominant gene, its effect is hidden by dominant gene. Dominant gene is represented by capital letter while recessive gene is represented by small letter.

What volume of silver metal will weigh exactly 2500.0g. The density of the silver is 10.5 g/cm3
pochemuha
Density = mass/volume
From this equation we can also say:
Volume = mass/density
V = 2500.0g/10.5g/cm3
V = 238 cm3
