Natalka [10]3 years ago

Answer:

To solve this question, it is necessary to consider the number of protein structures that have been empirically verified and the number of Open reading frames predicted from sequencing data

Explanation:

The most common methodologies used to determine protein 3D structure are nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and X-ray crystallography. Although both methods are efficient, the determination of 3D protein structures in physiological conditions is a time and cost-consuming task. Moreover, due to recent advances in bioinformatics and sequencing methodologies, the amount of protein Open Reading Frames predicted from sequencing data (especially obtained from Next Sequencing Generation studies) is many times higher. Indeed, less than 5% of sequenced proteins have an empirically validated 3D structure.

Which of the following are among the most common second messengers?
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

The correct answer would be calcium ion and cAMP.

Secondary messengers refers to the intracellular signaling molecules which pass the signals from the receptors located on the surface of the cell to the target molecule present within the cell.

The secondary messengers can be classified into three major class:

  1. Cyclic nucleotide for example cAMP (cyclic adenosine monophosphate), cGMP (cyclic guanosine monophosphate)
  2. DAG (diacylglycerol) and IP₃ (inositol triphosphate)
  3. Calcium ions (Ca⁺⁺)  

Hence, from the given options, calcium ion and cAMP would make the correct choice.
