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.

The answer is cytologist.

A cytologist is an expert in cytology. Cytology is a branch of life sciences that studies cells, including their structure, function, and chemistry. Thus, the cytologist is expert in cell function and structure. Therefore, every process in which cells are involved, such as processing sugars, would be a research target for the cytologist.

As an aspiring undergraduate researcher, you want to identify the gene responsible for bacterial virulence of your favorite path
Marianna [84]

Answer:

When directed mutagenesis which is also called reverse genetics is used, only a single mutation per genome is introduced. In contrast, the number of mutations per genome introduced by random mutagenesis is usually difficult to control. It is likely that the strain you obtained with a mutation in gene X after random mutagenesis contained an additional mutation or perhaps multiple mutations which ultimately was/were responsible for loss of virulence in your favorite pathogen.

Why are checkpoints important in the cell cycle​
timurjin [86]
They play an important role in the control system by sensing defects that occur during essential processes such as DNA replication or chromosome segregation, and inducing a cell cycle arrest in response until the defects are repaired.
