Question
Chapter 8, Problem 17P
Interpretation Introduction
To explain:
The physiological benefits of Stanol esters by use of supplementary dietary source graph.
Introduction:
Stanol esters also known as Phytosterols are produced in plant cell membrane. Stanol esters have similar structure like cholesterol and they block the absorption of cholesterol and reduce the level of cholesterol in blood.

Assessing the Toxicity of Laetrile Laetrile is a glycoside found in biller almonds and peach pits. Laetrile treatment is offered in some countries as a cancer therapy. This procedure is dangerous, and there is no valid clinical evidence of its efficacy. Look up the structure of laetrile and suggest at least one reason that laetrile treatment could be dangerous for human patients.arrow_forwardAnswers to all problems are at the end of this book.

The Biosynthetic Capacity of Cells The nutritional requirements of Escherichia coli cells are far simpler than those of humans, yet the macromolecules found in bacteria are about as complex as those of animals. Because bacteria can make all their essential biomolecules while subsisting on a simpler diet, do you think bacteria may have more biosynthetic capacity and hence more metabolic complexity than animals?

Determining the Branch Points and Reducing Ends of Amylopectin A 0.2-g sample of amylopectin was analyzed to determine the fraction of the total glucose residues, that are branch points in the structure. The sample was exhaustively methylated and then digested, yielding 50-mol of 2,3-dimethylgluetose and 0.4 mol of 1,2,3,6- letramethylglucose. What fraction of the total residues are branch points?

Assessing the Effect of Temperature on Equilibrium You are studying the various components of the venom of a poisonous lizard. One of the venom components is a protein that appears to be temperature sensitive. When heated, it denatures and is no longer toxic. The process can be described by the following simple equation: There is only enough protein from this venom to carry out two equilibrium measurements. At 298 K, you find that 98% of the protein is in its to.\ic form. However, when you raise the temperature to 320 �.. you find that only 10% of the protein is in its toxic form. Calculate the equilibrium constants for the T to N conversion at these two temperatures. Use the data to determine the H,S, and G for this process.arrow_forward

Solving the Sequence of an Oligopeptide From Sequence Analysis Data Analysis of the blood of a catatonic football fan revealed large concentrations of a. psychologic octapeptide. Amino acid analysis of this oclapeplide gave the following results: 2 Ala lArg 1 Asp 1 Mel 2 Tyr I Val 1NH/ The following facts were observed: Partial acid hydrolysis of the octapeptide yielded a dipeptide of the structure Chymolrypsin treatment of the octapeplide yielded two tetrapeptides, each containing an alanine residue. Trypsin treatment of one of the tetrapeptides yielded two dipeptides. Cyanogen bromide treatment of another sample of the same tetrapeplide yielded a tripeplideand free Tyr.
