A doctoral student in biology, Esther Mensah, is reviewing primary literature over RNAi interference as part of her literary res

earch for her proposal on decreasing the amount of abnormal white blood cell growth associated with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) using a murine (mouse) model. She is being provided with 10 AML mice courtesy of her mentor. Can you help her out with her proposal

Answer:

She might study the function of putative oncogenes and/or tumor suppressor genes in AML mice by transfecting small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) which are able to suppress the expression of genes of interest through the RNA interference (RNAi) pathway

Explanations:

The RNA interference (RNAi) pathway is a naturally occurring mechanism which is used in molecular biology laboratories to inhibit the expression of target genes. The RNAi technique consists of delivering small interfering double-stranded RNAs (siRNAs, 18-30 nucleotides in length) into the cells in order to inhibit the translation of genes and/or trigger mRNA degradation, thereby suppressing target gene expression. These siRNAs are specifically designed to bind by complementarity to transcripts of target genes (i.e., mRNAs). In this case, the RNAi pathway can be used to study the function of genes involved in AML pathways (e.g., apoptosis, cell proliferation, etc).

Can same enzyme have different kinetics for different substrates? What is the biological significance that?
ad-work [718]

An enzyme possesses different kinetics for different substrates as a result of this different products are formed.

Discussion:

  • Multi-substrate reactions are governed by intricate rate equations that specify how and in what order the substrates bind. If substrate B is altered while the amount of substrate A remains constant, the study of these reactions becomes considerably easier. The enzyme behaves exactly like a single-substrate enzyme in these circumstances, and a plot of v by [S] yields the actual KM and Vmax constants for substrate B.
  • These results can be utilized to determine the reaction's mechanism if a series of such measurements are carried out at various fixed concentrations of A. There are two different sorts of mechanisms for an enzyme that accepts two substrates, A and B, and converts them into two products, P and Q: ternary complex and ping-pong.

The ballistic method of developing flexibility is the safest form of stretching. please select the best answer from the choices
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer;

The above statement is false.

The ballistic method of developing flexibility is not the safest form of stretching.

Explanation;

-Ballistic stretching uses the momentum of a moving body or a limb in an attempt to force it beyond its normal range of motion. It involves stretching by bouncing into (or out of) a stretched position, using the stretched muscles as a spring which pulls you out of the stretched position. An example is the ballistic method of touching your toes would be to bounce and move toward your feet.
