Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The body length per second of the kinesin molecules and the automobile of 10feet long at the given rate should be compared.
Concept introduction:
The kinesin is a class of motor protein in eukaryotic cells. They are powered by the ATP molecules in the cells and they move along the microtubule filaments.

A healthy 32-year-old man lifts weights regularly as part of his workout. In one of his biceps muscle fibers at rest, the length of the I band is 1.0 μm and the A band is 1.5 μm. Contraction of that muscle fiber results in a 10% shortening of the length of the sarcomere. What is the length of the A band after the shortening produced by muscle contraction? Draw the sarcomere before and after contraction.

The sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase, pumps 2 mol Ca2+ out of sarcomeres per mol ATP hydrolyzed.(a) Given the following steady-state concentrations and a membrane potential of 65 mV (inside negative), calculate ΔG for the following activetransport process at 37 °C and pH = 7.4:2Ca2+(in) + ATP + H2O → 2Ca2+(out) + ADP + Pi + H+ATP = 2.6 mM, ADP = 210 μM, Pi = 5.1 mM, Ca2+(in) = 32 mM,Ca2+(out) = 2.2 mM(b) In active muscle the pH can drop below 7.4. Is the reaction above moreor less favorable under these conditions?(c) The activity of the Ca2+-ATPase is regulated reversibly under normalconditions to maintain homeostatic concentrations of Ca2+ inside thesarcomere. However, in a rare genetic disorder, irreversible activation ofthe Ca2+ -ATPase can occur. Assuming 37 °C, pH = 7.4, and the steadystate concentrations for ATP, ADP Pi, and Ca2 +(out) given in part (a),calculate the minimum [Ca2 +] inside a sarcomere that has irreversibly activated Ca2 +-ATPase (i.e., the Ca2 +-ATPase…

- You are studying the rate of actin polymerization and depolymerization in an in-vitro hypothetical system. The G actin concentration in the solution of the experimental setup is 0.3μm. Based on the data values predict the outcome of the experiment. Please note that X or Y ends can be "any end" of the actin filament. -1 X end actin: Association rate: 10 µmS-¹ ; Dissociation rate: 2.5 µmS-¹ Y end actin: Association rate: 5 µmS-¹ ; Dissociation rate: 2.5 µmS-¹ O The X end of the actin filament will grow.

Recall that at G-actin concentrations above the critical concentration, actin filaments elongate. When the G-actin concentration is greater than the Cc for the barbed end (C (T)) but less than the Cc for the pointed end (Cc (D)), the filament maintains a steady state length due to treadmilling, where the rate of ATP actin addition at the barbed end equals the rate of ADP-actin at the pointed end.arrow_forwardWrite the Structure Activity Relationship ( SAR) of Captopril ?
