A new mucinase enzyme was recently discovered that breaks down a glycoprotein in mucous membranes and contributes to bacterial vaginosis (J. Clin. Microbiol. 43:5504). You are a research pathologist testing a new inhibitor of this enzyme that you have discovered and want to design experiments to understand the nature of this inhibition. You have a supply of the normal glycoprotein substrate, the inhibitor, and an assay to measure product formation. (a) How might you determine whether inhibition is reversible or irreversible?
(b) If you find that the inhibition is reversible, how would you determine whether the inhibition is competitive or noncompetitive?

An example of a trait that would be considered acquired and inherited is a. a cleft chin b. muscle tone c. scar tissue d. freckled skin

If your blood becomes too concentrated with iona, what will happen to the red blood cells

What best explains whether bromine (br) or neon (ne) is more likely to form a covalent bond? bromine forms covalent bonds because it has seven valence electrons, but neon has eight valence electrons and already fulfills the octet rule. bromine forms covalent bonds because it has many electron shells, but neon has only two electron shells and is tightly bound to its electrons. neon forms covalent bonds because it can share its valence electrons, but bromine has seven valence electrons and can gain only one more electron. neon forms covalent bonds because it has only two electron shells, but bromine has many electron shells and will lose electrons in order to fulfill the octet rule.
