Radom: What causes miosis and mydriasis at the Neuron level

acetylcholine is responsible for pupil constriction (miosis). The dilation of the pupil (mydriasis) is primarily mediated by the sympathetic nervous system, specifically through the release of norepinephrine (noradrenaline) from sympathetic nerve endings onto the radial muscle of the iris. Therefore, activation of the sympathetic nervous system leads to pupil dilation, while activation of the parasympathetic nervous system, which releases acetylcholine, causes pupil constriction.

Western blotting, also known as protein immunoblotting, is a widely used laboratory technique to detect and analyze proteins. It involves separating proteins by size via gel electrophoresis, transferring them to a membrane, and then detecting specific proteins using antibodies that bind to them. This technique is valuable for studying protein expression, post-translational modifications, and protein-protein interactions in biological samples.

What does Adenylate Kinase do?

Adenylate kinase is an enzyme involved in the transfer of phosphate groups between nucleotides. Specifically, it catalyzes the reversible transfer of a phosphate group from ATP to AMP, forming two molecules of ADP. This reaction helps maintain the balance of adenine nucleotides (ATP, ADP, and AMP) within cells, which is crucial for energy metabolism and various cellular processes.

Amylase ?

Amylase is an enzyme that breaks down starch and glycogen into simpler sugars.

Lock and key,confinational selection, induced fit difference.

While both "lock and key" and "confirmational selection" describe enzyme-substrate interactions, the former emphasizes the specificity of the interaction based on pre-existing shapes, while the latter highlights the dynamic nature of enzyme conformations and substrate selection.



the main difference lies in whether the enzyme's conformational state is static (confirmational selection) or dynamic (induced fit) upon substrate binding.

Talk about intrinsically disordered region(IDR)

Intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) are segments within proteins characterized by the absence of a stable tertiary structure under physiological conditions. Unlike structured regions of proteins, IDRs typically lack hydrophobic residues and instead contain a high proportion of polar and charged amino acids. This structural flexibility enables IDRs to adopt multiple conformations and interact with various binding partners, contributing to their functional versatility in cellular processes such as signaling, regulation, and molecular recognition.

What's Zymogen

A zymogen is an inactive precursor form of an enzyme, requiring activation to become functional.

Whats Ubiquitination?

Ubiquitination is a cellular process where ubiquitin, a small protein, is attached to other proteins, regulating their functions, including degradation, signaling, and localization. It involves enzymes like E1, E2, and E3 ligases.

Cofactors and Coenzymes

cofactors are usually inorganic molecules or metal ions that directly participate in enzyme catalysis, while coenzymes are organic molecules that facilitate enzyme activity by carrying or transferring chemical groups or electrons.

What's specificity constant

Kcat/Km


A higher specificity constant indicates a more efficient enzyme, as it reflects a higher turnover number or a lower Michaelis-Menten constant (indicating higher affinity for the substrate) or both. Enzymes with higher specificity constants can achieve higher reaction rates at lower substrate concentrations.

What's transversion mutation

A transversion mutation is a type of point mutation in which a purine base (adenine or guanine) is replaced by a pyrimidine base (thymine or cytosine), or vice versa, within the DNA sequence. This mutation results in the substitution of one type of nucleotide with another type of nucleotide that differs in both size and chemical structure. Transversion mutations are less common than transition mutations, which involve the substitution of a purine base with another purine or a pyrimidine base with another pyrimidine.

What does p-value ,tells us

The p-value in statistics is calculated based on the null hypothesis, which is a statement that there is no effect or no difference between groups. The p-value represents the probability of obtaining results as extreme as or more extreme than the observed results, assuming that the null hypothesis is true.The calculation of the p-value depends on the statistical test being used. Here are a few common methods:1. **For t-tests:** In a t-test, the p-value is typically calculated using the t-distribution based on the test statistic (t-value) and the degrees of freedom.2. **For chi-squared tests:** In a chi-squared test, the p-value is calculated using the chi-squared distribution based on the test statistic (chi-squared value) and the degrees of freedom.3. **For ANOVA tests:** In analysis of variance (ANOVA), the p-value is calculated based on the F-distribution using the F-statistic and the degrees of freedom.4. **For regression analysis:** In regression analysis, the p-value is typically associated with each coefficient and is calculated based on the t-distribution.Once the appropriate distribution and test statistic are determined, the p-value is calculated using software or statistical tables. If the p-value is below a predefined significance level (often 0.05), the null hypothesis is rejected, indicating that the observed results are unlikely to have occurred by chance alone.

Perturbation and Le chateliers principle

Perturbation in a chemical reaction refers to any change that disrupts the equilibrium state. This disruption affects the balance between reactants and products, shifting the reaction towards equilibrium. The reaction quotient (Q) and equilibrium constant (K) help gauge the reaction's progress towards equilibrium. Le Chatelier's principle guides how the system responds to perturbations, shifting to counteract the disturbance and eventually reach equilibrium where Q equals K.

Why is F6P to F1,6P in glycolysis, is favorable and not the otherwise

Because, ATP presence makes it favorable to form F16P.while F6P may have lower free energy than F1,6P, the hydrolysis of F1,6P to form F6P requires an input of energy, resulting in a positive (ΔG) for the reaction.
