Re: Anatomy & Physiology B/C
Ha, Heredity!|When the mother is Rh- & the child is Rh+, the Rh antigens produced by the mother may cross the placenta. When the second fetus is also Rh+, the antigens are already formed, so they are much more likely to attack the fetus (risk increases with successive children). Exactly! Also w...

Very good! You got exactly what I wanted.
Your turn!

Explain the dangers of a mother being Rh- and her fetus being Rh+ and explain why usually only the second child is at risk.

Re: Protein Modeling C
Hey, so this is what I did to select the section to be modeled. First, did I do it correctly? Second, how do you manipulate it to get it to display the amino acid numbers for the alpha helices, beta pleated sheets and key amino acids? Looks correct to me! I don't believe that there is a specific fu...

Re: Protein Modeling C
Briefly describe primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structure of proteins. What level of structure does the following protein have? Describe where you see each level of structure present and how you know certain levels do not apply to this protein. I hope nobody minds If I respond again t...

Exactly correct, your turn!bernard wrote:Cysteine (Cys, C) and Methionine (Met, M) both contain sulfur. Cysteine forms disulfide bonds. Methionine cannot form disulfide bonds because the sulfur it contains is connected to a methyl group.

Re: Anatomy & Physiology B/C
I guess I'll just ask a question to get the marathon up and running again... Which of the leukocytes primarily target parasites, and how do they (leukocytes) destroy them (parasites)? I only know the first part, but i believe it is...|Eosinophils, and for the second part I'm going to guess|Phagocyt...

Protein Modeling C
I'm surprised nobody's started this one up yet, but here goes nothing...
Today's question comes to you in three parts:
Name the two amino acids that contain sulfur and their one and three letter abbreviations,
Identify which one forms a disulfide bond
Explain why the other aa can't form such a bond
