AMP-PNP is the abbreviation for a structural analogue of ATP in which the second and third phosphate groups are linked by an NH

group (instead of an oxygen atom). AMP- PNP can bind to the ATP-binding site of most ATPases. It differs from ATP in that the
terminal phosphate cannot be removed by hydrolysis (so you cannot create ADP, therefore, you cannot get energy from AMP-PNP). Based on this information, explain the following

a. When isolated myofibrils are placed in a flask containing Ca2+ and AMP-PNP, contraction is quickly arrested. Where in the contraction cycle will contraction stop? Be specific.
b. What affects would you predict for cilia on a paramecium to which AMP-PNP is added? Be specific as to the proteins / molecules whose function would be inhibited and what would be the overall affect?
c. When researchers incubated purified vesicles, axoplasm (containing motor proteins), and MT from the giant squid axon and added AMP-PNP, the vesicles did not move along the MT. Explain this observation using specific proteins / processes affected.

Answer:

Explanation:

a.

Actin and myosin, two contractile proteins, make up myofibrils. ATPase activity is present in the myosin head. Troponin tropomyosin complex is displaced by calcium ions, exposing myosin's entire surrounding binding site on actin. Myosin heads execute the power stroke, and detachment of the head is needed for the second cycle. Myosin head detachment is aided by ATP binding & hydrolysis. Since the solution contains AMP-PNP instead of ATP, myosin heads are unable to hydrolyze and detach from myosin-binding sites on actin, thereby preventing contraction.

b.

The active ATPase correlated with both the dynein arms is found in cilia and flagella. Dynein is a motion motor protein family that walks around microtubules. The core of cilia is made up of microtubule bundles linked to the motor protein dynein. In the presence of AMP-PNP, the net reaction will be to stop the ciliary movement by inhibiting dynein motor proteins.

c.

Kinesins and Dyneins, two groups of motion motor proteins with ATPase activity, are involved in axonal transportation. All the motion motor proteins use energy from ATP hydrolysis to transfer secretory vesicles through microtubules. Since the inclusion of AMP-PNP does not supply electricity, vesicular transport does not occur.

What can you conclude about the susceptibility of the bacteria to the antibiotics?
vova2212 [387]

Susceptibility refers that they can not grow if drug is present . Antibiotic is effective against the bacteria. Resistant means the bacteria can grow even if the drug is present and this sign is an effective antibiotic.

The antibiotic susceptibility testing are based on measuring the inhibition of growth of bacteria. Average time which requires to obtain result are 18- 24 hours for rapid system.Antibiotic sensitivity test can help in finding that which antibiotic is more effective in treating infection accordingly.

Antimicrobial susceptibility test is very significant bacterial isolates and there goal of testing is to detect possible drug resistance in common pathogen to assure susceptibility to drug of choice for particular infections.

In freud's model of the mind the _____ consists of a pool of primal psychic energy
AVprozaik [17]

In Freud’s model of the mind, it is the id that contains a pool of primal psychic energy. It is the id that paves way into how we deal with the everyday pleasures of our lives. The id is governed by the pleasure principle were it is highly motivated for doing pleasurable things like hunger, sex, thirst, and many more. It is considered to house primal psychic energy because it is primarily consisted of all the inherited biological aspects that are necessary in our lives. Since it contains the pleasure principle, it is responsible for our impulses as well.
