Question

The Besford lab uses this compound often sourced from oysters to create functionalized nanoparticles. Type V (“five”) enzymes break down this compound using the phosphate moiety of pyridoxal phosphate. An enzyme that breaks down this compound has an active “A” tetramer form and an inactive “B” dimer form that are found in different cell types. This compound is a more efficient carrier than tRNA or linear polyacrylamide in the (*) ethanol precipitation of DNA. (10[1])The breakdown of this compound is activated by AMP and the modification of an enzyme’s serine-14 residue by phosphorylase kinase. Hers’ (10[1])disease and McArdle’s (10[1])disease (10[1])are among a class (10[1])of disorders named for this compound’s (10[1])irregular storage. (10[2])This multibranched compound is synthesized (10[1])by adding UDP-conjugated (10[1])monomers (10[1])to create alpha-1,4 and alpha-1,6 (10[1])linkages. (10[1]-5[1])For 10 points, name this polymer of glucose (10[1])found in liver and muscle cells. ■END■ (10[1])
