Heparin, a highly negatively charged glycosaminoglycan, is used clinically as an anticoagulant. It acts by binding several plasm

a proteins, including antithrombin III, an inhibitor of blood clotting. The 1:1 binding of heparin to antithrombin III seems to cause a conformational change in the protein that greatly increases its ability to inhibit clotting. What amino acid residues of antithrombin III are likely to interact with heparin

Answer:

Positively charged amino acids

Explanation:

Heparin is an acid polysaccharide that has a strong negative charge due to the sulfate groups on its glucosamine residues. This negative charge confers to heparin anticoagulant activity. The negatively charged groups in the heparin molecule can interact with positively charged (basic) residues, such as arginine (Arg) and lysine (Lys) of plasma proteins. For example, it has been shown that lysine amino acid residues of antithrombin III may be involved in the binding with heparin.

Explain what ATP is and how energy is stored/released by this molecule.<br><br> Need help now please
djyliett [7]

<em>The ATP molecule can store energy in the form of a high energy phosphate bond joining the terminal phosphate group to the rest of the molecule. In this form, energy can be stored at one location, then moved from one part of the cell to another, where it can be released to drive other biochemical reactions.</em>
