The Smac protein in this paper is normally released from mitochondria during apoptosis, and its function is to accelerate apoptosis by binding to and inhibiting other proteins that inhibit apoptosis (it is thus somewhat like a second messenger in a signaling pathway).A. Smac contains four contiguous amino acids, Ala-Val-Pro-Ile, that bind to its target proteins. Its Kd for binding is about 100 nM. The compound at right was found to bind to the same site on the same target protein with a Kd of 12 nM. Based on these data, and the compound’s structure, which of the four amino acids do you think is least important in binding to target proteins? Explain. B. The four amino acids listed above are at the N-terminus of Smac, and the 11 missing GFP amino acids are at the C-terminus. How do you suppose the binding of Smac to its targets is affected (if at all) when Smac binds to the remainder of GFP? Explain

Plz fast biotechnology is a growing field of applied biology. many crops such as corn have been engineered to be resistant to herbicides. therefore farmers can spray these chemicals to kill weeds growing near the crop without worries of killing the crop itself how does this type of biotechnology work? a. by changing the genetic make up of the crops. b. by causing the crops to kill the weeds. c. by changing the type of crops used. d. by changing the location of the crops.

Astudy by solloch and et. al., in 2017, gives the map above which shows the frequency of alleles with a ccr5-delta32 mutations over 87 different countries. this mutation deletes the presence of a co-receptor (ccr5) on the outside of human t-cells (lymphocytes). some viruses, such as the one responsible for the black death and human immunodeficiency virus (hiv), require this receptor for attachment to host cells during the infection process. the black death was an epidemic that passed over northern europe during the 14th century killing nearly 60% of europeans. according to this information, which explanation best explains why northern europeans show a greater immunity for hiv than some other parts of the world?
