Phosphate

existed on the Phosphate atom have been separated, the two enzymes in the human body, Nucleotidyl and nucleoside diphosphate kinases, will add phosphatic groups to the molecule. The molecule becomes effective for the treatment of Hepatitis C virus only when Sofosbuvir as a prodrug is converted to Sofosbuvir as a drug. The drug needs to enter the Hepatitis C virus by disrupting the replication of the virus so that the drug can be an effective drug. Sofosbuvir needs to have three phosphate groups…

As a result, three different salts came from the three reactions. The salts were identified as sodium phosphate in reaction one, sodium hydrogen phosphate in reaction two, and sodium dihydrogen phosphate in reaction three. The mass of the salt, the (experimental) formula weight of the salt, the empirical formula of the salt, and the name of the salt were found in this experiment through each reaction…

the biosynthesis of dopamine is biosynthesised by the enzyme dopa decarboxylase. The complete equation for this reaction is L-dopa + pyridoxal phosphate --> dopamine + pyridoxal phosphate + CO2. This reaction illustrates how pyridoxal phosphate is essential for dopamine biosynthesis from L-dopa. The enzyme’s activity is dependent on how much pyridoxal phosphate is available in a given reaction. In addition to the two enzymes required for the formation of dopamine from L-tyrosine (L-tyrosine…

which is the energy needed in our bodies. • The first 2 steps of fructose breakdown is unique to fructose. • When Fructose is broken down, the enzyme fructokinase converts fructose to fructose-1-phosphate. An enzyme called Aldolase-B converts fructose-1-phosphate into dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) and glyceraldehyde. DHAP and glyderaldehyde are then able to enter glycolysis to start the process of converting them into energy or ATP which is needed in our bodies. (Hudon-Miller, Enzymes…

professional landscapers who use a variety of fertilizers…” To start off, Emerald Estates water sample did not produce a light during the conductivity lab. On the other hand, Emerald Estates had a lot of phosphates and nitrates in their water sample. In Figure 5 it shows how they had 0.05 ppm of phosphates and 3.5 ppm of nitrates.…

is initiated. Phosphorylation of glycogen phosphorylase b converts to phosphorylase a. This enzyme releases glucose-1-phosphate from glycogen polymers. After this the phosphate group is moved from the C-1 position to the C-6 position creating glucose-6-phosphate by the enzyme, phosphoglucomutase. The enzyme glucose-6-phosphatase removes the phosphate group from glucose-6-phosphate, leaving free glucose molecules. These glucose molecules leave the cell via…

Most enzymes are catalytic proteins made up of amino acids and are a key part of the breakdown and synthesis of virtually every biological catalysis reaction mechanism. The primary function of a catalytic enzyme is to increase the rate of reaction by helping the enzyme overcome the activation energy barrier without the reaction consuming or changing the enzyme. In enzymatic reactions, the substrate binds to the highly specific enzyme active site (the substrate-binding domain) and forms an…

three-chain helix in which the sugar-phosphate backbone resided in the center of the molecule. The phosphate groups in this theoretical structure were not ionized. Instead, each phosphate group had a hydrogen atom bound to it, which added a positive charge to each group, leading to each phosphate group to have a net charge of zero. However, the definition of an acid goes against this as an acid should have a positive charge, as Watson very…

natural teeth. MI Paste is a topical tooth agent, which is currently indicated in the United States for the minimization of dentin hypersensitivity. The active ingredient in MI Paste, Recaldent (casein phosphopeptide (CPP) and amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP)), has been shown to clinically reduce dentin hypersensitivity by effectively altering the pattern of demineralization and remineralization that occurs. This paper discusses the processes of demineralization and remineralization, the active…

Phospholipids Phospholipids are a kind of lipid that are well suited to both their biochemical and physiological function. They comprise of a glycerol backbone with a phosphate head and two fatty acid tails. The tails are hydrophobic, meaning that they do not interact with water. When a group of phospholipids come into contact with water they arrange themselves in a bilayer that hides the hydrophobic parts from the aqueous surroundings. This leaves the head of the phospholipid in contact with…
