Neutral Amino Acids

Amino acids which do not have any charge on them are neutral amino acids.

Globular Protein

The globular proteins refer to the shape of protein specifically spherical in nature apart from spherical form fibrous, disordered and membrane-bound proteins exist. These globular proteins are miscible in water and form a colloidal solution rather than …

Dimer

Dimers are basic organic compounds, which are derivates of oligomers. It is formed by the combination of two monomers which could potentially be strong or weak and in most cases covalent or intermolecular in nature. Identical monomers are called homodime…

Dipeptide

A dipeptide is considered a mixture of two distinct amino acids. Since the amino acids are distinct, based on their composition, two dipeptide's isomers can be produced. Various dipeptides are biologically essential and are therefore crucial to industry.

Question 15 Glycogen storage disease type I (GSD I) or von Gierke's disease, is the most common of the glycogen storage diseases. This genetic disease results from deficiency of the enzyme glucose-6-phosphatase. The metabolic outcomes of GSD I are likely to include: O Low blood glucose, increased blood pH, increased glycogen storage in liver and kidneys O High blood glucose, decreased blood pH, decreased glycogen storage in liver and kidneys O Low blood glucose, increased blood pH, decreased glycogen storage in liver and kidneys O Low blood glucose, decreased blood pH, decreased glycogen storage in liver and kidneys High blood glucose, decreased blood pH, increased glycogen storage in liver and kidneys O High blood glucose, increased blood pH, increased glycogen storage in liver and kidneys O High blood glucose, increased blood pH, decreased glycogen storage in liver and kidneys O Low blood glucose, decreased blood pH, increased glycogen storage in liver and kidneys
