The introduction of amino acid substitutions that will discourage the monomer interaction is to be done inside the insulin receptor binding site.

The introduction of amino acid substitutions that will discourage the monomer interaction is to be done inside the insulin receptor binding site. Correct Answer False

The above statement is false. The introduction of amino acid substitutions that will discourage the monomer interaction is to be done outside the insulin receptor binding site. Therefore, this engineering of insulin will not alter the product’s biological activity/potency.

A insulin producing company starts the production with 4 kg of insulin, the next day the amount of insulin was increased to 12 kg. If the amount of insulin on the n + 1th day : amount of insulin on nth day ∷ amount of insulin on nth day : amount of insulin on the n – 1th day and once the amount of insulin crosses 100 kg, 90 kgs of the insulin is removed. What will be the total production of insulin in 23 days?

1. The genetic code is degenerate
2. In all amino acids the first two bases are the same in all the codons that represent a particular amino acid

In a batch process, the reaction takes place in the presence of an acid medium. The acid is drained from the reaction vessel at the rate of 15ml/s as a result of the density difference of the acid from the reacting component. To avoid wastage of acid, it is recycled to an acid tank which has 1000 L capacity. The acid drained from the reaction vessel, picks up 50 g/L solids from the reactor. Acid is fed once again to the process from acid tank. When the process is started, the acid is almost pure in the tank as a result of filtration. As the reaction proceeds, acid in the tank gets more and more contaminated with the solids. The concentration of the solids should not exceed 100 g/L from the process point of view. The batch time is 16h. Estimate whether the concentration of the solids will exceed 100g/L during the batch reaction.
A polymer ‘A’ is formed by the polymerization of monomer B. Monomer B is formed by the pyrolysis of monochlorodifluoromethane in contact with platinum at 700 ᵒC. Monomer is a highly crystalline polymer with excellent insulation properties. What is the name of monomer B?
Analysis of a hexapeptide using enzymatic cleavage reveals the following result:
• Amino acid composition of the peptide is: 2R, A, V, S, Y
• Trypsin digestion yields two fragments and the compositions are: (R, A, V) and (R, S, Y)
• Chymotrypsin digestion yields two fragments and the compositions are: (A, R, V, Y) and (R, S)
• Digestion with carboxypeptidase A yields no cleavage product.
Given: Trypsin cleaves at carboxyl side of R. Chymotrypsin cleaves at carboxyl side of Y. Carboxypeptidase A cleaves at amino side of the C-terminal amino acid (except R and K) of the peptide.
The correct amino acid sequence of the peptide is:
