5. Von Gierke's disease results from the lack of glucose-6-phosphatase (G6Pase) activity. This causes anincrease concentration of glucose-6-phosphate. One of the effects of this disease is gout. Describe howelevated levels of glucose-6-phosphate would lead gout.I ÍI.- ---6. Replication is the process by which we replicate DNA. This process requires the two strands of DNA tobe separated in order for replication to occur. How does having the DNA underwound help facilitate theseparating of the DNA strands?

The glycogen storage disease is caused due to the absence of the glucose-6-phosphatase enzyme which…

Primase has a DNA dependent RNA polymerase activity. 2. 7-methylguanosine cap is added to the 5' end of the DNA after replication in eukaryotes. 3. snRNA is produced in transcription. 4. Initiator tRNA enter ribosome with the help of EF-Tu. 5. At low oxygen partial pressure Po2, myoglobin has lower oxygen affinity than hemoglobin.
6. Sickle cell anemia is a genetic disease resulting from a single amino acid substitution (glutamate to valine in the sixth position, or E6V) on the surface of the hemoglobin B chain. This mutation causes hemoglobin to polymerize into strands in the deoxygenated state, leading to the erythrocytes forming a sickled shape. a. Speculate as to why the mutation leads to the polymerization of hemoglobin. In the structure below, the red circles show the approximate location of the mutation. a subunits B subunits. b. Given that the binding of oxygen to hemoglobin cause the structure of the protein to change, hypothesize why the E6V mutation only causes polymerization in the deoxygenated state.
