Question
Chapter 23, Problem 19P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
To suggest a function for the positively charged guanidium nitrogen atom involved in the splitting of argininosuccinate into arginine and fumarate should be determined.
Concept introduction:
The urea cycle is a series of biochemical reactions which involve the formation of urea (NH2)2CO from the ammonia (NH3). It is also known as the ornithine cycle. It helps in the excretion of toxic ammonia by converting into urea. This cycle takes place in ureotelic organisms.

Please help me with this question.
How many amino acid residues are in the heavy and light chains of the Fab fragment, and how many amino acid residues are in lysozyme?
Help please. This question is specifically asking for the identification of the biomolecules that are attached to the sphingosine core, then we need to answer what bond causes those biomolecules to be connected to the sphingosine, what reaction created that bond (maybe addition or oxidation etc.), what were the starting materials and lastly what reagents or conditions are needed for the reaction to occur. Thank you!

- I. Active site analysis. Below is a diagram of a putative active site for Monoamine oxidase. As we learned, the purpose of tertiary structure is to form a scaffold so you can orient just a few amino acids in the right orientation to promote binding and/or catalysis. The position where this occurs is the active site. The amino acid architecture of an active site is designed to bind substrates. Amino acid side chains are capable of hydrogen bonding, ionic and hydrophobic interactions.
