Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The reason for the measurement of aggrecan degradation by the release of glycosaminoglycan needs to be explained.
Concept introduction:
The carbohydrates are combined with the proteins. Enzyme behaves aggrecan and produces a molecule.Some destruction can observe by the aggrecan.
(b)
Interpretation:
The reason for the glycosaminoglycan release to not indicate the aggrecan degradation needs to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Glycosaminoglycan is also known as mucopolysaccharides which have a series of disaccharides. This series contains amino sugar and uronic sugar. Glycosaminoglycan is also written as GAGs.
(c)
Interpretation:
The purpose of the control needs to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Enzyme behaves aggrecan and producesa molecule. Some destruction can observe by the aggrecan.
(d)
Interpretation:
The effect of adding IL-2 needs to be explained.
Concept introduction:
IL-2 is also known as interleukin which is a signaling molecule of the immune system.
(e)
Interpretation:
The response of aggrecanase inhibitor when IL-2 is added needs to be explained.
Concept introduction:
IL-2 is also known as interleukin which is a signaling molecule of the immune system.
(f)
Interpretation:
The reason for aggrecan destruction in the control needs to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Enzyme behaves aggrecan and produces a molecule. Some destruction can observe by the aggrecan.

- disease. As such, a frontline treatment for Type 2 diabetes is the drug metformin, which acts indirectly to inhibit gluconeogenesis in the liver. You are a research biochemist who would like to develop new drugs that act to directly inhibit gluconeogenesis. You have just gained access to a library of thousands of small molecules of unknown activity, and you would like to identify lead compounds that have specific inhibitory activity against steps in the gluconeogenesis pathway. (a) into PEP in order to screen for inhibitors of enzymes specific to gluconeogenesis. Which enzymes do you need to purify, what cofactors and allosteric effectors do they require, and which reactants do you need to add to reconstitute the reactions for the first bypass?

The binding affinity between a peptide agonist and its specific G protein coupled receptor alone determines the sensitivity of a cell to the agonist peptide.arrow_forwardPlease help me with this question. More than one answer may be correct. THe graph relating to the information is included below. The above figures show the rate of actin polymerization in the presence of various concentration of profilin (Pfn). In the top figure, flourescence intensity is a measure of total actin that has been polymerized, and this is plotted versus time in seconds. The shade of blue of the lines in the top figure correspond to the shaded blue bars representing various concentrations of profilin in the lower figure. The lower graph shows the initial rates of polymerization of actin plotted again concentration. Which of the following is true: Question 21 options: profilin in a molecular motor profilin is a promoter of actin polymerization profilin replaced G-actin in an F-actin strand and breaks the filament profilin is an inhibitor of actin polymerization profilin binds to G-actin, preventing it from polymerizingarrow_forwardNot sure about both.
