Sickling occurs in deoxyhemoglobin S but not in oxyhemoglobin S. Oxyhemoglobin has a small, hydrophobic pocket in a β chain regi

on located in the interior of the protein. In deoxyhemoglobin, however, this pocket is located on the surface of the protein. In deoxyhemoglobin S, Val 6 interacts with this surface pocket, leading to aggregation of HbS. Choose two amino acids that would be reasonable canidates for the pocket-Val 6 interaction.
(A) phenylalanine
(B) leucine
(C) serine
(D) arginine
(E) glutamate

Answer:

A & B

Explanation:

Leucine and phenylalanine have hydrophobic side chains, which means that they can interact with valine in the pocket. All other aminoacids on the list have polar (two electrically charged) side chains and cannot form hydrophobic pockets.

1. <span>tRNA is the one carrying amino acids

2. </span>Mutation does not always affect the evolution of a species because <span>not all mutations affect an entire species. 

3. </span><span>The type of chromosomal mutation that occurs here is an example of a deletion mutation. Specific genetic data, or DNA is removed and the remaining portions of chromosomal information have rejoined. 

4. </span><span>A chromosomal deletion mutation

5. </span>The mutagens that result in cancer damage DNA by (b) weakening the DNA strand or interfering with base pairing. This mutagens are called carcinogens, if they cause a damage to a gene that makes a DNA repair protein, it means that a cell will have less ability to repair itself, and ,as a result, this will lead to formation of cancer.

Which of the following will most likely happen to an enzyme if it is placed in
ella [17]

Answer:

The enzyme will no longer bind to the substrate, slowing or stopping the chemical reaction

Explanation:

The enzyme will get denatured and therefore its active site (that binds the substrate) will be deformed and unable to catalyze reactions. The enzymes, mostly made of folded proteins, are made stable by the interactions between the protein’s amino acids side groups. Changes in the pH of the solution influence the charges of these groups hence altering their interactions. This causes the protein enzyme to deform causing it to lose its function.

What do cellular respiration and fermentation have in common? They both occur in the mitochondria, they both Harvest energy from
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

Fermentation and cellular respiration are alike in that they both begin with a series or reactions known as glycolysis, which breaks glucose molecules into smaller pyruvate molecules. They are also similar in that during both processes ATP is produced for the cell to use.

Hope it helps.
