Chapter 36, Problem 2P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The body length per second of the kinesin molecules and the automobile of 10feet long at the given rate should be compared.
Concept introduction:
The kinesin is a class of motor protein in eukaryotic cells. They are powered by the ATP molecules in the cells and they move along the microtubule filaments.

A healthy 32-year-old man lifts weights regularly as part of his workout. In one of his biceps muscle fibers at rest, the length of the I band is 1.0 μm and the A band is 1.5 μm. Contraction of that muscle fiber results in a 10% shortening of the length of the sarcomere. What is the length of the A band after the shortening produced by muscle contraction? Draw the sarcomere before and after contraction.
Avidin exists as a protein complex of around 68 kDa. Research to determine the types of interactions that hold the avidin complex together.
Based on your research, which molecular weight would you expect for avidin when treated with beta-mercaptoethanol and run through a native gel?
35 kDa
68 kDa
10 kDa
19 kDa
When you hold a weight at arm's length, you are not doing any thermodynamic work but the muscles supporting the weight are nevertheless consuming energy. Describe, on the molecular level, how muscles might maintain such state of constant tension without contracting. Why does this state consume ATP?

- You are studying the rate of actin polymerization and depolymerization in an in-vitro hypothetical system. The G actin concentration in the solution of the experimental setup is 0.3μm. Based on the data values predict the outcome of the experiment. Please note that X or Y ends can be "any end" of the actin filament. -1 X end actin: Association rate: 10 µmS-¹ ; Dissociation rate: 2.5 µmS-¹ Y end actin: Association rate: 5 µmS-¹ ; Dissociation rate: 2.5 µmS-¹ O The X end of the actin filament will grow.

Recall that at G-actin concentrations above the critical concentration, actin filaments elongate. When the G-actin concentration is greater than the Cc for the barbed end (C (T)) but less than the Cc for the pointed end (Cc (D)), the filament maintains a steady state length due to treadmilling, where the rate of ATP actin addition at the barbed end equals the rate of ADP-actin at the pointed end.arrow_forwardWrite the Structure Activity Relationship ( SAR) of Captopril ?
