The pain and inflammation caused by a snake bite can be treated with certain steroids. What is the basis of this treatment?

Glucose-1-phosphate has a higher phosphoryl group transferpotential than does glucose-6-phosphate. Review the structures of these molecules and suggest a reason for thisphenomenon.

Carbonic anhydrase of erythrocytes (Mr 30,000) has one of the highest turnover numbers known. It catalyzes the reversible hydration of CO₂. H₂O + CO₂ 2 H₂CO3 This is an important process in the transport of CO₂ from the tissues to the lungs. If 5 µg of pure carbonic anhydrase catalyzes the hydration of 0.35 g of CO₂ in 1 min at 37 °C at Vmax, what is the turnover number (kcat) of carbonic anhydrase? Kcat 2.0466 ×107 Incorrect min-1

Which of the following fatty acids is oleic acid (18:1, cis A9) B

The action of this enzyme found in Beano alpha-galactosidase can also according to many sources be used to remove  ____________ from the red blood cells of the B blood group and convert them to the O blood group.  Since the _________ molecules (composed of many monomers) are connnected to protein on the membrane and also the cell membrane of the red blood cell itself; therefore these molecules help create cell identity and recognition, and when the are connected to proteins they are known as  _________ , but if they are connected to the cell membrane itself they are known as ____________.  This is a good question for reviewing the structures on the cell membrane as well. The only difference between the B-blood type and the O-blood type is  ________. The following is a diagram of the differences of these molecules that determine blood type.    List of answers: disaccharid, proteins ,dehydration synthesis ,nucleotide ,amino acids ,nucleic acids ,lactose ,fructose ,sucrose ,hydrolysis…

Draw the products that would be produced from phospholipase C cleavage of a glycerophospholipid with a phosphoserine head group, an alpha linoleic acid attached to C2 of glycerol and a linoleic acid attached to C, of glycerol. Draw these products at pH=1. Be sure to number the fatty acid carbons in your products.

HbA1c is a glycated hemoglobin in which a glucose molecule is covalently bound to the N-terminal valine of a hemoglobin subunit.  True  False

Valproic acid shows some hepatotoxic/teratogenic effects. Explain why the analog 2-fluoro valproic acid may not possess similar effects.

The formation of “hard” clots by factor XIIIa involves linking lysine and glutamine side chain residues in fibrin. Draw a representation of the cross-linked product of a reaction between these two amino acids.

Though it has been banned for use in baby bottles, BPA is still widely used to manufacture other plastic items and epoxies (such as the coating on the inside of metal cans of food). BPA-free plastics are often manufactured with a related compound, bisphenol S (BPS), which has effects similar to BPA. Imagine you are part of a group lobbying for increased control of BPA and BPS in manufactured products. How would you best summarize the results of this study to help support your case?   A. I read a study once that said BPA was bad.   B. A 1998 study from Case Western University proved that BPA causes birth defects.   C. A 1998 study found that increasing exposure to BPA-leaching plastic sources increased the percentage of abnormalities in mouse oocytes, which could lead to an increased risk of birth defects.   D. A 1998 study found that even the smallest exposure to BPA-leaching plastics causes a high percentage of abnormalities in mouse oocytes, which could lead…
