Question:-
A 4-year-old girl is being treated in the hospital for thickness burns. Prior to reach dressing change, a drug is administered intravenously for sedation. Several minutes after she receives each dose, her heart rate and arterial blood pressure increases. Which of the following drug is most likely to cause this effect?
Ketamine
Midazolam
Morphine
Propofol
Thiopental
Question:-
The enzyme aromatase is found in the cytoplasm of some cells and converts testosterone to estrogen. You decide to test aromatase from a particular cell, and oops, your lab partner admits he drastically increased the pH in all the test tubes. Which of the following is a likely result?
a.
The enzyme will be denatured and the substrate will not bind to the active site.
b.
The enzyme will convert testosterone to estrogen at a faster rate.
c.
The mistake will have no effect on the experiment, because enzymes are not sensitive to pH.
d.
The free energy will be lowered and the reaction will not proceed spontaneously.
Ligand binding and response. The following question involves the ligand binding to a receptor and the receptor's response to that ligand.
What ligand concentration would be required for a full agonist with a KD of 8 nM to achieve a response of 0.75?

- THOUGHT QUESTION Imagine we identify a gene that is directly responsible for the effects of vasopressin on male mammals, including humans-we will call it trust1-that leads to the production of a vasopressin receptor in the brain, which we will call TRUST1. There are different versions of trust1, all of which lead to different levels of the behavior associated with this neuropeptide on male behavior. Give some examples where it would be a good idea to know a particular males genotype-that is, which of the trust1 genes he has. Give an example of when you think science has gone too far and this information should not be known.arrow_forwardstate transition diagram for home nursing during covid-19arrow_forwardCalculate θ for a certain protein-ligand pair when the ligand concentration = 1 M and the Kd = 1 X 10-15 M.arrow_forward
