A chemical engineer wants to design a novel enzyme that is capable of catalyzing a reaction in a hydrocarbon solvent instead of

water. Based on the material covered in this course, discuss theobstacles that must be overcome to create such an enzyme. Do you think it would be possible to achieve this goal? Please justify your answer.

Answer:

A few obstacles would make it tough to accomplish this objective. In the first place, the polypeptide backbone is characteristically polar. Hardly any proteins would be dissolvable in a non-polar hydrocarbon. Moreover, to keep up the dissolvability of this protein, most of its amino acids would need to contain hydrophobic or non-polar R groups.

Then again, its charged or polar R groups would need to connect with one another or be covered in the core of the protein away from the hydrocarbon solvent. This would put noteworthy requirements on both the idea of the R groups and the structure of the protein that could take part in substrate recognition or catalysis. By and large, this is certainly not a reasonable objective.

Beadle and Tatum used which of the following organisms to support their one gene - one enzyme concept?
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

Neurospora.

Explanation:

Beadle and Tatum experiment shows one gene one enzyme hypothesis. According to this, a single enzyme is encoded by each gene. This idea is not accepted in today's world.

Beadle and Tatum performed experiment on the neurospora. They chosed neurospora in their experiment because neurospora shows the fast life cycle with alternation of generation. The genetic experiments can be easily performed on neurospora.

Thus, the correct answer is option (c).

if an organism is a prokaryote, unicellular and can survive in harsh conditions, in which doiman would it be classified
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is - Archaea.

Explanation:

Archaea is one of the three domains of life other than bacteria and eukarya. Archaea are prokaryotic organisms that are unicellular and present in very extreme conditions like salt environments or extreme heat.

Archaea used to be placed with bacteria but due to some closeness with the characteristic of eukarya as well as bacteria, it is placed as a separate domain. It lacks nuclei and has a cell wall in its cell.

How do the relative sizes of the external and internal jugular veins differ in the human and the pig?
Ksivusya [100]
The jugular veins are the veins responsible for bringing deoxygenated blood from the head to the heart. There are two sets of jugular veins, the internal and external ones. In pigs, the internal and external jugular veins are similar in size, while in humans the internal jugular vein is bigger in diameter than the external.
