0.3 M Glycerin, 0.3 Urea are both 0.3, but thei effect on RBCs is very different than 0.3 M Glucose. Glycerin = glycerol, which is a non-polar molecule. Urea is a small molecule which passes though membrane easily by facilitated diffusion. Predict the fate of a red blood cell placed in 0.3 M glycerin and in a 0.3 M Urea. Explain why these changes might take place.

Cows that graze on spoiled sweet clover, which contains dicoumarol, die from hemorrhagic disease. The cause of death is defective prothrombin. However, the amino acid composition of the defective prothrombin is identical to that of normal prothrombin. What is the mechanism of action of dicoumarol? Why are the amino acid compositions of the defective and normal prothrombin the same?
What qualitative effect would you expect each of the following to have onthe P50 of hemoglobin?(a) Increase in pH from 7.2 to 7.4(b) Increase in PCO2 from 20 to 40 mm Hg(c) Dissociation into monomer polypeptide chains(d) Decrease in 2,3-BPG concentration from 7 mM to 5 mM in red cells.
Creatinine, C4H7N3O, is a by-product of muscle metabolism, and creatinine levels in the body are known to be a fairly reliable indicator of kidney function. The normal level of creatinine in the blood for adults is approximately 1.0 mg per deciliter (dL) of blood. If the density of blood is 1.025 g/mL, calculate the molarity of a normal creatinine level in a 10.0 mL blood sample.
Think about our previous lecture, we discussed red blood cell’s (RBC) shunt that takes place during glycolysis. You know that the main function of RBCs is to carry O2 from lungs to tissues. Please kindly discuss this function at the molecular level (at the level of hemoglobin structure α & β chains) taking in consideration 2, 3-BPG.
In the experiment performed for the determination of cholesterol, the function of the calibration curve obtained using 25-400mg/dL standard cholesterol solutions was determined as y= 0.0009x. If the amount of cholesterol in the serum sample is determined as 3.11 g/L, what is the absorbance value of the sample? A. 0,280 B. 0.028 C. 0.208 D. 0.82
In a molecular disease of hemoglobin, Hemoglobin Rainier, Tyr 145β is replaced by Cys, which forms a disulfide bond with another Cysresidue in the same subunit. This prevents the formation of ion pairs that normally stabilize the T state. How does hemoglobin Rainier differ from normal hemoglobin with respect to the Hill coefficient
Your friend's genetic test revealed that they have a rare mutation - they lack the glycotransferase responsible for adding the terminal fucose molecule to the oligosaccharide on the surface of red blood cells. What is the consequence for a blood transfusion - which blood groups can they receive donations from, if any? Why? Although they lack the terminal fucose normally found on the surface of red blood cells, can you make any predictions as to wheter they also have or lack the Galactose or GalNAc found on A or B blood types? Your friend suggested a simpler way to test for this type of mutation. They have suggested taking a Fucosidase (a type of glycosidase) and mutating it so that the active site was no longer functional - they claim this would endow the protein with the properties of a lectin. Does their claim make any sense?
An antibody binds to another protein with anequilibrium constant, K, of 5 × 109 M–1. When it binds toa second, related protein, it forms three fewer hydrogenbonds, reducing its binding affinity by 11.9 kJ/mole. Whatis the K for its binding to the second protein? (Free-energychange is related to the equilibrium constant by the equa-tion ΔG° = –2.3 RT log K, where R is 8.3 × 10–3 kJ/(mole K)and T is 310 K.)
In the experiment performed for the determination of cholesterol, the function of the calibration curve obtained using 25-400mg/dL standard cholesterol solutions was determined as y= 0.0009x. If the absorbance of the serum sample is determined as 0.28, what is the amount of cholesterol in the sample, in mg/L?
Given the equation of the line, y=150x-8.1221 (cells per mL is in 10^8), what is the CFU per mL of the original suspension if the thousand-fold dilution of that suspension has an absorbance of 0.3 at 600nm? * A. 3.7 x 10^12 B. 3.7 x 10^9 C. 3.7 x 10^1 D. None of these is correct
Normal Hgb is referred to as HbA and contains 4 subunits, 2 α-globin chains and 2 β-globin chains, arranged as two dimers of αβ. In Sickle Cell Disease, both β-globin chains are altered in the dimers (αβS/αβS). Q3: Which level of structure does the αβ/αβ and αβS/αβS in HbA and HbS describe?
