Question
Chapter 8, Problem 17P
Interpretation Introduction
To explain:
The physiological benefits of Stanol esters by use of supplementary dietary source graph.
Introduction:
Stanol esters also known as Phytosterols are produced in plant cell membrane. Stanol esters have similar structure like cholesterol and they block the absorption of cholesterol and reduce the level of cholesterol in blood.

(Research Problem) The Nature and Roles of Linear Motifs in Proteins In addition to domains and modules, there are other significant sequence patterns in proteins—known as linear motifs—that are associated with a particular function. Consult the biochemical literature to answer the following questions: 1. What are linear motifs? 2. How are they different from domains?. 3. What are their functions? 4. How can they be characterized? 5. There are several papers that are good starting points for this problem. Neduva, V., and Russell, R., 2005. Linear motifs: evolutionary interaction switches.

The Biosynthetic Capacity of Cells The nutritional requirements of Escherichia coli cells are far simpler than those of humans, yet the macromolecules found in bacteria are about as complex as those of animals. Because bacteria can make all their essential biomolecules while subsisting on a simpler diet, do you think bacteria may have more biosynthetic capacity and hence more metabolic complexity than animals? Organize your thoughts on this question, pro and con, into a rational argument. (Section 1.5)arrow_forward
