Answer:
True
Explanation:
Point mutations arise when a single amino acid base is changed. This could cause some differences in the organism or it may not. Manufactured point mutations in model systems such as yeast offer a powerful tool to examine the function of different amino acids in a protein.
There are three types of point mutations
- Silent: these mutations have a single residue change but it does not affect the amino acid that is being coded. There is no change to the wild type
- Nonsense: will cause a stop or start or gain of start/stop codon.
- Mis-sense: will cause a change of amino acid residue. There are two types of mis-sense Conservative and non-conservative. The former will cause a change in amino acid base to one that has similar properties while the former will change to an amino acid of different properties often having different traits than the wild type.
The ATP molecule is composed of three components. At the centre is a sugar molecule, ribose (the same sugar that forms the basis of RNA). Attached to one side of this is a base (a group consisting of linked rings of carbon and nitrogen atoms); in this case the base is adenine. The other side of the sugar is attached to a string of phosphate groups. These phosphates are the key to the activity of ATP.
Answer:
Lysozyme in the body fluid protects us from bacterial infection by damaging the cell wall of bacteria which ultimately kills the bacteria.
The bacterial cell wall is made up of NAG and NAM units which is joined by β (1-4) glycosidic bond. Lysozyme attacks on this bond and breaks it causing the damage in the cell wall of bacteria which leads to the death of bacteria.
Archaeal cell wall do not contain β (1-4) glycosidic linkage, it contains β(1-3) glycosidic linkage in its cell wall between NAT and NAG unit and lysozyme do not able to break β(1-3) glycosidic linkage between them so lysozyme do not cause any harm to the archaeal invaders.
