Pbgd Polypeptide Chain Analysis

5. What is the prevalence and prognosis of this condition? Is it an inheritable (genetic) condition/disease? (1 point)

The biochemical basis of this disease is related to the metabolism of fat. It is caused by an abnormality in the ABCD1 gene located on the X chromosome. This prevents the production of ALDP which functions as a

What parts of the body does it affect? How common is it? Are there multiple forms/causes for developing the condition? How long can an individual survive?

     Recent studies show that this syndrome may be associated with changing craniofacial and skeletal muscle metabolism, such as blood flow, which causes the chronic fatigue and severe weakness. Another hypothesis is that an infectious trauma to the body, such as a virus, triggers the illness. However, with this syndrome being new, no specific virus has been identified. There is though a plot study that shows that there is possible inherited tendency toward the disease. This disease/syndrome has increased

This syndrome is from a mutation of a gene on chromosome 15 and this causes problems in the production of fibrillin-1 which is a protein that is an important part of connective tissue. The name for the gene is FBN1. Basically, it is the “glue” that helps to support the tissues in the human body. A child born to a parent with this syndrome has a 50% of having it. However, in the remaining 25%, neither parent has the disease which gives them a 1 in 10,000 chance of having a child with this disorder. When a child of two unaffected parents is born with it then the genetic mutation occurs in either the egg or sperm cell at the time of conception.

This disease is genetically inherited and is a dominant characteristic, therefore unfortunately the offspring of a victim has 50% chance of inheriting the disease.

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the effects of the disorder and how genetics and biochemistry work together to create this

mutation is phenylalanine 508 known as delta F508. Delta F508 is a deletion of 3 nucleotides

Outline the causes, incidence and risk factors of the identified condition and how it can impact on the patient and family

The disease may be found on a chromosome analysis. There is no said or found cure or treatment for the disease. It’s very rare, but not impossible, to get the disease from parents or grandparents.

In rare cases, the disease may be due to a gene mutation that happens spontaneously.

Some are known and some are not, the known ones that cause defective versions of the enzyme cause early death

The cause of this disorder is a gene that is missing which provides protein for the cell. Without this gene the cell can not give out protein which does not let your body live for long.

Bettelheim, Brown, Campbell and Farrell assert that polypeptide chains do not extend in straight lines but rather they fold in various ways and give rise to a large number of three-dimensional structures (594). This folding or conformation of amino acids in the localized regions of the polypeptide chains defines the secondary structure of proteins. The main force responsible for the secondary structure is the non-covalent

causes many issues and symptoms to certain individuals, the disease can be serious and deadly.
