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.

As a result of mitosis, each daughter cell
ella [17]

In human cell mitosis, each daughter cell will have the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell, which is 46 chromosomes. If the parent cell is diploid, it has two sets of chromosomes, or a total of 46. If it is haploid, such as sperms and eggs, they have one set of chromosomes, or just 23.

What is homeostasis... Be discriptive
Semenov [28]
<span>(I got this from my handbook dictionary)
"the tendency toward a relatively stable equilibrium between interdependent elements, especially as maintained by physiological processes."

What that basically means is that homeostasis is the ability to respond to certain environments. It is how you respond to environmental changes and how you basically adapt to it.. that's where the idea of response and adaption came from.

Hope this Helps!! (I had a quiz on this once)

SCORPION-xisa [38]
I would say A) Short-term. Unless the earthquake is extremely powerful it would not be classified in the other three categories, so most earthquakes would be short-term
