I graduated from the University of Washington with a degree in general Biology. I am looking for a remote job during this pandemic. I have also taken non- calculus physics, general chemistry and organic chemistry.
The immune system rejection of transplanted organs and the availability of organ donors are key factors in determining survival. Blood ABO compatibility is always a criterion in matching donors and recipients in adult patients and was once a consideration for infant patients. Period of time on the waitlist for a suitable donor is critical because the health of the patient degrades while waiting. Dipchand et al. (American Journal of Transplantation, 10, 2010) made a comparison of survival rates for infants where the donor heart was ABO compatible and incompatible as shown in the graph.Based on these data justify the claim that expression of blood group immune response develops over time and that this provides a window of opportunity for transplantation.
The first protein structure to have its structure determined was myoglobin from sperm whale. Propose an explanation for the observation that sperm whale muscle is a rich source of this protein.
Does myoglobin exhibit a Bohr effect? Why or why not?
Arthropods such as lobsters have oxygen carriers quite different from hemoglobin. The oxygen-binding sites do not contain heme but, instead, are based on two copper(I) ions. The structural changes that accompany oxygen binding are shown below. How might these changes be used to facilitate cooperative oxygen binding?(EQUATION CAN'T COPY)
Would the cyanide ion or the carbonate ion be considered organic? What about the acetate ion?
Compare the original and modern definitions of organic chemistry. Why was the definition changed? Which definition includes the other?
