What is the mechanism of action for vancomycin

Biology

Vancomycin. Mechanism of Action: Inhibits cell wall synthesis by binding to the D-Ala-D-Ala terminal of the growing peptide chain during cell wall synthesis, resulting in inhibition of the transpeptidase, which prevents further elongation and cross-linking of the peptidoglycan matrix (see glycopeptide pharm).

Avery and DNA (page 289)
Ivan

Yes, Avery, Mc Leod and Mc Carty do thought that genes may be involved in the transformation of non virulent rough Strains of <em>Diplococcus pneumoniae</em> to harmful smooth strained bacteria

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Avery was a Canadian medical researcher who along with other two well known scientists of the contemporary time went for an experiment where he took two strains of bacteria Diplococcus pneumoniae - one is rough and nonvirulent and another is smooth and virulent. For a control run, he injected both the bacteria in separate mice and the expected result was there. Now as he injected heat killed smooth bacteria, the mice survived. But as he injected heat killed smooth bacteria with rough bacteria, although there was no organism which can kill the mice the mice died. And autopsy revealed the presence of live smooth bacteria in the lungs.

Thus they suspected something have gone from the dead smooth bacteria into the non virulent rough bacteria which lead to transformation of the rough bacteria to smooth ones. Thus, the experiment was carried on, which suspected role of genes in this transformation.

Genetics is the most important factor that affects your physical fitness.<br> a. True<br> b. False
faltersainse [42]
<span>This is false. Everyone is unique in this aspect and although genetics can help you, or make life harder, it also falls down to personal behavior and habits. There are no genetics that can save you from constant overeating and there are no genetics that can prevent you from working out, at least to your possible extent.</span>

Suppose that the resistance between the walls of a biological cell is 7.0 × 109 Ω. (a) What is the current when the potential di
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Using Ohm's law

V ( voltage) = I (current A) × Resistance R in ohms

R = 7.0 × 10⁹Ω

V = 80 mV = 80 / 1000 = 0.08 V

0.08 V = I × 7.0 × 10⁹Ω

a) I = 0.08 V / 7.0 × 10⁹Ω = 1.142857 × 10 ⁻¹¹ A

b) quantity of charge = I × t = 1.142857 × 10 ⁻¹¹ A × 0.85 s = 9.7142857 × 10⁻¹² C

number of Na⁺ ions ( q = +e) = 9.7142857 × 10⁻¹² C / 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C = 60714285.714 Na⁺ ions
