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

Biology
1 answer:
Mashutka [201]3 years ago
8 0

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.

A remora hitching a ride on the shark is an example of which symbiotic relationship? A. Predator/prey B. Mutualism C. Parasitism
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

D. Commensalism

Explanation:

The relationship between a remora and a shark is an example of commensalism - it's good for one side but neither good nor bad for the other. The remora attaches itself to the shark and gets the benefit of eating the shark's leftovers, but there is no harm or benefit for the shark, and the shark doesn't eat the remora like in a predator/prey relationship.

I believe it would be polyphyletic.
Polyphyletic groups are formed when two lineages convergently evolve similar character states. Organisms classified into the same polyphyletic group share phenetic homoplasies as opposed to homologies. The key difference between paraphyletic and polyphyletic groups is that paraphyletic contain their common ancestor, whereas polyphyletic groups do not.

What is free nitrogen?
UNO [17]

Answer:

Nitrogen thet cannot be used by organisms. C.

Explanation:

Free nitrogen is simply molecular nitrogen (N2). Nitrogen, in its molecular form, consists of two nitrogen atoms bound together with a tripple bond. Because it is very stable, N2 is typically nonreactive, and takes a lot of energy to break them apart. Among these are the amino acids necessary for life to begin and which are the building blocks DNA is made from. Basically, any nitrogen that is in an organic compound is considered “fixed” nitrogen and N2 is considered to be “free” nitrogen
