Concept explainers
(a)
To determine: The results expected if the inside-out vesicles are subjected to the GO/3H-BH4 procedure.
Introduction: Erythrocyte membranes can be used to prepare sealed vesicles. These vesicles are prepared such that their orientation is reverse. This means that the side of the erythrocyte membrane which faced the cytoplasm, face outwards in these vesicles.
(b)
To determine: The results expected if the inside-out vesicles are subjected to the LP/125I procedure.
Introduction: Erythrocyte membranes can be used to prepare sealed vesicles. These vesicles are prepared such that their orientation is reverse. This means that the side of the erythrocyte membrane which faced the cytoplasm, face outwards in these vesicles.
(c)
To determine: The conclusions that can be drawn if some of the proteins that become labeled by the LP/125I method of part (b) were among those that had been labeled when intact cells were treated such that they were incubated with LP in the presence of 125I and the membrane proteins were extracted and analyzed on SDS-polyacrylamide gels.
Introduction: Erythrocyte membranes can be used to prepare sealed vesicles. These vesicles are prepared such that their orientation is reverse. This means that the side of the erythrocyte membrane which faced the cytoplasm, face outwards in these vesicles.
(d)
To determine: A method by which a transmembrane protein can be labeled such that it has 3H on one side and 125I on the other side.
Introduction: Erythrocyte membranes can be used to prepare sealed vesicles. These vesicles are prepared such that their orientation is reversed. This means that the side of the erythrocyte membrane which faced the cytoplasm, face outwards in these vesicles.

- Catabolism - draw the complete citric acid cylcle for myristatearrow_forwardresting state of the protein, the Lys 216 Schiff base has pKa = 9.5 and Asp 85 has pKa = 3.5. When the conformational change occurs, the proton that was on the Schiff base moves to Asp 85. This should tell you that one or both of these two pKas changed with the conformational change. How does the pKa of Asp 85 compare with the pKa of the Lys 216 Schiff base after the conformational change?arrow_forwardrole of iron (Fe) in human body by focusing on Structure-Function-Location• how much of FE is present in your body? • what does it do? • where is it found? how long can you survive these conditions, before you will manifest first signs of physiological/psychological (either one, maybe both?) pathology? What will be those symptoms? Can you tell what is the natural cycle of Fe in your body?arrow_forward
- 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?arrow_forwardBIOMOLECULES - MULTIPLE CHOICE - Please answer properly QUESTION : In patients with Lesch Nyhan Syndrome, purine nucleotides are overproduced and over excreted.

- Suggest a reason why the cell membranes of bacteria grown at 20°C tend to have a higher proportion of unsaturated fatty acids than the membranes of bacteria of the same species grown at 37°C. In other words, the bacteria grown at 37°C have a higher proportion of saturated fatty acids in their cell membranes.arrow_forwardMolecular detail of spike Y453Farrow_forwardMULTIPLE CHOICE In patients with Lesch Nyhan Syndrome, purine nucleotides are overproduced and over excreted.
