1. to which protein does calcium bind in order to expose the active sites

2. list the four connective tissue structure associated with skeletal muscle

Expert Solution

The skeletal muscle contraction is activated when acetylcholine is released by motor neuro into the neuromuscular junction under the influence of action potential. This acetylcholine bind to the nicotinic receptors in the motor end plate and produce a muscle action potential. This muscle action potential opens the Ca2+ releasing channels in the sarcoplasmic reticulum membrane and influx of Ca2+ into the sarcoplasm occur. These calcium binds to the troponin (a regulatory protein) and expose myosin (a structural protein) binding sites on action

1. Calcium binds to troponin (a structural protein present in the thin filament) and expose the active site (myosin binding site on actin)

2. Connective tissues protect and support the body organs. This also cover and protect skeletal muscle in various level of anatomical structure. The following are four connective structure associated with skeletal muscle

Endomysium: A layer of dense irregular connective tissue covers entire skeletal muscle (outermost layer)

Perimysium: Dense irregular connective tissue layer that encircle a group of muscle fibers (usually 10 to 100 fibers) and form fascicle (seperate muscle bundles).

Epimysium: It is areolar connective tissue layer encircle individual muscle fibers

Tendon: It a cordlike extension of dense regular connective tissue that connects muscle tissue to bone

1. Calcium ions bind to ___________ on the thin filament, which leads to the exposure of myosin binding sites on actin. A.) tropomyosin B.) titin C.) dystrophin D.) troponin E.) actin 2. Release of ACh A.) decreases the positive charge on the sarcolemma. B.)reduces the exposure of actin binding sites. C.) lowers the threshold of the muscle fiber. D.)increases permeability of the motor end plate to sodium ions. E.) decreases the release of Ca2+ from the sarcoplasmic reticulum. 3. All...

Which complement protein interacts with Ig? Where on the Ig protein does it bind. 5pts Complement can lead to the formation of the MAC which essentially lyses the target cell. Name another way complement leads to the destruction of the target cell and the molecules involved. 5 pts Compare and contrast the activation steps through formation of a C5 convertase between the Classical pathway, the Alternative pathway and the Lectin pathway of complement activation. 12 pts

1.When the substrates bind to the active of an enzyme, the active site changes shape. This is an example of: a) lock & key model; b) inhibitor model; c) allosteric model; d) induced fit model; e) none. 2. The change in free energy at equilibrium is: a) increased; b) decreased; c) no net change 3. You have a gram of each of the following: bacon grease, lean ground turkey and bread. Which on has more potential energy and why? a)...

In order to study the EGF receptor you engineer a protein that can bind ligand but lacks the intracellular domain of the protein. If you overexpress this protein in the cell it acts like a dominant negative. Explain how it might bind with normal receptors and inhibit downstream signaling. Rubric: Explain how the dominant negative interacts with cellular components (.5) and how this interaction will overall inhibit EGFR signaling (.5).
