    almost like potassium. The body contains about 140 grams of sulfur mainly in the proteins, but sulfur is distributed in small amounts in cells and tissues. Sulfur is in four amino acids: methionine, an essential amino acid; the nonessential cysteine and cysteine, which is made from methionine and taurine, which is not part of body tissues but does help produce bile acid for digestion. Sulfur takes part in two B vitamins, thiamine and biotin. Thiamine is important to skin and biotin to hair.…

    Since acetic acid is considered a weak acid (strong within the scale of weak acids), there is a range at which the acetic acid and acetate will form a stable buffer. Using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation for buffers, it’s possible to calculate the pH based on the ratio of acid to conjugate base, or calculate the ratio given the pH and pKa value. Finding charge on a protonated amine: The pKa value given for the amino group on any amino acid specifically refers to the equilibrium between the…

    molecules are attached (Komander and Rape, 2012; Woelk et al., 2007). First of all, by forming a thioester bond between C-terminus glycine residue of ubiquitin and a cysteine residue present on E1 enzyme activates ubiquitin in an ATP-dependent manner (Haas and Rose, 1982). Thereafter, the activated ubiquitin is transferred to another cysteine residue, present on another class of enzymes, called E2, through transesterification (Ciechanover, 1994; Hershko and Ciechanover, 1992). Afterward,…
