In the 1950s, Christian Anfinsen demonstrated the renaturation of the protein ribonuclease (RNase) in vitro. After reduction (to

reduce the disulfide links) and the addition of urea (to denature the protein), the protein was in an unfolded state. After removing the urea and the reducing agent, the protein refolded, with greater than 90% activity. If the urea were removed after oxidation occurred, the protein had less than 5% activity. Why would the protein not refold correctly if the urea were removed after the reducing agent was removed? (In other words, what would happen if the urea were removed after oxidation?)

Answer:

Generally disulphide bonds are  type  of covalent bonds  formed between cysteine molecules, which can  be removed by reducing agents. They are formed when weak interactive bonds are well positioned  between cysteine molecules to from disulphide bridges. The denaturation by urea   disrupts positioning of  this weak interactive bondings and therefore disulphide bridges. Thus removal of urea enabled the weak bonding interactions to correctly placed the   disulphide bonds  back between the cysteine molecules,

S-----H----H-----S       ⇒    S-------S                                    

Reduction                       Oxidation

However,  with oxidation occurring  ( i.e loss  of oxidizing agents)before removal of urea,  the –SH residues   positioning would be disrupted, affecting  the formation of disulphide bonds, and eventual   denaturation of protein.

Answer:

Hello, The DNA fingerprinting technique and development and comparison of physical fingerprints can be the methods used for the purpose of solving crimes and identification of missing person. The DNA fingerprinting can be done from the physical evidences such as blood, sweat, hair, tissues, teeth and other material obtain at crime scene. These can be compared with the suspects, victim and missing persons so as to establish their identity. The physical fingerprints can be developed on the scene of crime and compared with the requested specimen from suspect, victim and the missing person or in case of impersonation to establish the desired identity.

<em>Hope This Helps!</em>

Answer:

c) Habitat isolation

Explanation:

Habitat isolation is a mechanism that prevents species from mating even if they don't have reproductive barriers. The differences in the habitat types may thus be sufficient to develop reproductive isolation between two (or more) populations

enkephalin-induced depression of single neurons in brain areas with opiate receptors—antagonism by naloxone
kicyunya [14]

Induced depression of single neurons in brain areas with opiate receptors

  • Enkephalin, applied microiontophoretically, depressed spontaneous and glutamate-induced firing of  one neuron in frontal cortex, caudate nucleus, and periaqueductal gray matter, where enkephalin and high concentrations of opiate receptors are met.
  • More than one depressions were blocked by the specific narcotic antagonist naloxone. The results  are durable with a neurotransmitter or neuromodulator role for this new brain pentapeptide.
  • Opium derivatives have been in medical use for the last  2000 years, and may be   longer than any other class of drugs
  • . The brain regions which was  involved in these actions have been identified in some instances by local microinjection of pmole quantities of opioids.
