What is usually the origin of a non-standard amino acid residue found in a polypeptide chain?

Biology

Mashutka [201]3 years ago

Answer:

The origin is a posttranslational modification of a standard aminoacid

Explanation:

There are 20 standard amino acids that can be found commonly in proteins. A non-standard amino acid is produced from an standard amino acid which suffered a chemical modification after it was incorporated in a protein chain, which is ussually called <em>posttraslational modification</em>. For example, γ-carboxyglutamic acid (Gla) is a non-standard amino acid that is formed from the standard amino acid glutamic acid (Glu). The γ-proton of glutamic acid is substacted and CO₂ is added. The reaction requires vitamin K as cofactor and it is catalyzed by a carboxylase. Gla has the ability of binding calcium and play an important role in blood coagulation.

Which of the following elements would be more reactive with other elements
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

The chemical element which would be the most reactive with other elements is: D. helium, #2.

A chemical property is a property of a chemical substance that is observable and measurable in the course of a chemical reaction. The chemical properties of a chemical substance include the following:

  • Tarnishing.
  • Heat of combustion.
  • Flammability.
  • Acidity.
  • Chemical reactivity.

Chemical reactivity is a property that determines how readily a chemical element would bond with other chemical elements to form a new compound.

Basically, the ability of a chemical element to bond with other chemical elements is highly dependent on the number of valence electrons.

The chemical elements Neon and Argon are noble elements, and as such have a filled outermost shell and wouldn't react with other chemical elements.

Helium has a single valence electron in its outermost shell while Boron has three (3) valence electrons in its outermost shell.

In conclusion, Helium with an atomic number of two (2) would be the most reactive with other elements.

What does outliers mean and can you use it in a sentence please!!!
irakobra [83]
An outlier in human society means an extraordinary achiever.

One author, Malcolm Gladwell, theorized that 10,000 hours of work is the secret sauce for becoming an outlier.

My thoughts?Yes and no.

Example: I can't imagine someone with an 80 IQ  having the same achievements in physics vs someone with an 150 IQ. Even if the low IQ person puts in 10,000 hours and the 150 IQ person only puts in 1000 hours.
