Tyrosine came from the Greek word "tyros" which means cheese as it was
discovered in cheese by Justus von Liebig, a German chemist in 1846. Tyrosine
serves as the precursor for dopamine - the neurotransmitter which is considered
as the "reward or pleasure molecule" in our brain. It is also involved in controlling
the fine motor movement of our muscles such as those of our hands. Draw the
titrimetric profile of tyrosine and calculate its isoelectric pH. [Note: The aromatic
hydroxyl group is titratable]

Assume that C is a pin joint. Joint B is described as a torsion spring with force pair moment M = κα, where α is the angle in radians.

Directed migration in response to a chemical stimulus is known as chemotaxis. Part of an efficient chemotactic response is the ability of cells to polarize. As is the case with our structurally-polar polymers like F-actin or microtubules, polarization here refers to an asymmetry in the cells, rather than an electrical charge. In this case, it involves one part of the cell becoming the “front” (or leading edge) and another the rear. In a well-polarized, migrating cell, it’s been observed that an active form of Rac (which, in turn, can activate ARP 2/3) is concentrated towards the front of the cell, whereas an active form of Rho (which, in turn, can activate formin, inhibit ADP, and activate myosin II) is found toward the rear of the cell.

Based on their structure and protein chemistry, the researchers believe that all three compounds may have strong anti-inflammatory activity and they have devised an experiment to test whether their compounds can reduce muscle damage after exercise.
