What would be the patient’s response to a normal drug dose that because of a genetic variation in an enzyme that prepares the dr

ug for elimination results in a blood drug level that is below the minimum effective concentration (MEC)?

Stells [14]2 years ago

The intended response fails to be produced.*In order for a drug to produce its intended response, its blood levels must reach the minimum effective concentration. When enzymes responsible for metabolizing and preparing drugs for elimination are more active as a result of a genetic variation, sensitive drugs are eliminated more rapidly, and a "normal" dose may not be high enough to allow the drug to be retained long enough to reach the MEC.

We used the enzyme, taq polymerase, which is derived from the thermus aquaticus bacterium, in our pcr procedure. Why is this enz
wel

The enzyme Taq polymerase is required in the PCR process because it is the main enzyme that synthesizes the new DNA strands complementary to the template strand and without the activity of this enzyme the PCR will be useless and it cannot make the copy of the given strand in any way. Thus, this enzyme is very much necessary for the efficient working of the PCR.

Polymerase Chain Reaction is a very efficient technique that can able to detect and copy even a small amount of DNA by performing a set of reactions at different temperatures.

The PCR process begins with the denaturing of the template strand at 95°C, followed by annealing in which the appropriate primers bind to the single strands of DNA at 50-56°C, followed by extension at 72°C in which the thermostable Taq polymerase synthesizes the strand complementary to the template DNA.

On a tour of African countries, Mark contracts a bad case of traveler's diarrhea. Because he can't eat very much, his body start
melomori [17]
<h2>e) option is correct </h2>

Explanation:

Traveler's diarrhea is an intestinal infection that occurs as a result of eating or drinking contaminated food or water, food handlers who do not wash their hands after they use the bathroom can transmit the infection to people who consume the contaminated food

Due to diarrhea, kidney don't work properly and level of urea increases in blood

Due to the low carbohydrate intake, ketosis occurs in which stored fat is metabolized which results in build up of acids called ketones

If the body starts to use energy sources other than carbohydrates then it means it is using the stored energy, gluconeogenesis fulfills glucose requirement of cell by synthesis of glucose from non carbohydrate material

To supply with energy lipid metabolism occurs, fatty acids are oxidized and energy in the form of ATP is produced

Hormones such as calcitonin, parathyroid hormone, and the pituitary hormones are protein-based and water-soluble. How does a hor
sashaice [31]

Answer: Substances that are protein based cannot cross the lipid cell membrane, but can exert their effect by binding to the proteins based receptors present on the lipid bilayer.

Explanation:

Hormones such as calcitonin , Parathyroid hormone and pituatry horomones are proteins and water soluble.They cannot cross lipid bilayer but can bind to ligand binding protein receptors.

These receptors are protein macromolecules that are specific in nature for specific hormones.

After binding to the receptors, these hormone-recpetor complexes activate second messengers and regulate the downstream effects.
