The Effect of low pH on Enzyme Activity Design an experiment in which you will test the effect of an acidic fluid on enzymatic activity. (Recall: enzymes are proteins.) To complete this project, it may be useful for you to review the Scientific Method Tutorial (found the Course Content section […]

Q1. Recall that the complex oxidation of a mole of glucose releases 686 kcal of energy. The phosphorylation of ADP to form ATP stores approximately 7.3 kcal per mole o ATP. What is the approximate efficiency of cellular respiration for a “mutant” organism that produces only 29 mole of ATP […]

In the signal transduction lecture , we established that the BCR-ABL translocation creates a membrane bound receptor with constitutive kinase activity. What defect is associated with this oncogenic mutation? A. An increase in phosphorylation of the substrate (compared to wild type)B. A defect that attenuates signaling from the BCR-ABL kinaseC. […]

1. Each strand is made up of two zones or regions. One zone of each strand is made up of identical repeating units, while another zone is made up of differing units. What are these zones of each strand called?2. What holds one strand against the other in the double […]
