Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The drug to cure the benign prostatic hypertrophy should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Benign prostatic hypertrophy is abbreviated as BPH. In this condition, there is enlargement of the prostate gland. It occurs by a benign overgrowth of mainly the glandular tissue. This growth takes place particularly in some men over 50 years old. It also tends to block the urination by contracting the urethra.

Initial fractionation using Sephadex G-100, a molecular sieve, was done, followed by subsequent purification steps until a pure form of Enzyme X was obtained. Part of the study on Enzyme X was the determination of its primary structure. Because of its big size, Enzyme X was cut into smaller peptides by treatment of enzymes and cyanogen bromide. One of the fragments was hydrolyzed and the amino acid components were separated by ion-exchange chromatography and identified. The amino acids were found to be: arg, asp, ile, lys, met, and tyr. The sequence was determined as follows: Treatment with DNFB gave a mixture of amino acids and DNP-lys Treatment with trypsin gave an amino acid, a dipeptide and a tripeptide ; the tripeptide tested positive with the Sakaguchi test Treatment with CNBr gave two tripeptides Treatment with chymotrypsin gave a…arrow_forwardInsulin-dependent diabetes is often accompanied by hypertriglyceridemia, which is an excess blood level of triacylglycerols in the form of very low density lipoproteins.
