Amino acids, the building blocks of proteins, possess buffering capabilities due to their amine (-NH2) and carboxylic acid (-COOH) functional groups. At physiological pH (~7.4), these amino acids exist predominantly in their zwitterionic form, where the carboxyl group donates a proton, becoming negatively charged (-COO-), and the amine group accepts a proton, becoming positively charged (-NH3+). This dual nature allows amino acids to act as buffers. They can donate H+ ions when the surrounding medium becomes too basic and accept H+ ions when it becomes too acidic, helping to maintain the pH stability in biological systems. The effectiveness of an amino acid as a buffer is greatest at its isoelectric point (pI), the pH at which the molecule is electrically neutral, and near the pKa values of its ionizable groups, where it can best accept or donate protons.
Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is considered to be a polar polymer due to the presence of its ester functional groups. These ester groups contribute to PET's polarity by differentiating the electron distribution within the molecule, making one part slightly negatively charged and another slightly positively charged. The polarity of PET is a critical feature that affects its physical properties, such as its solubility in certain solvents, and its interactions with other materials. This characteristic is essential for various applications of PET, including its use in fibers for clothing, containers for liquids and foods, and in thermoforming applications. However, its polarity is moderate, so it also displays some characteristics typical of nonpolar materials, such as resilience to water-based stains.
Yes, ribosomes are essential organelles in cells, responsible for assembling proteins from amino acids, the building blocks of proteins. This process, known as protein synthesis or translation, occurs in the cytoplasm and involves the decoding of mRNA (messenger RNA) sequences into a polypeptide chain. Ribosomes facilitate the correct alignment of tRNA (transfer RNA) molecules that carry specific amino acids. As the mRNA moves through the ribosome, the amino acids are connected by peptide bonds, forming a growing protein chain. There are two types of ribosomes, free ribosomes in the cytoplasm and bound ribosomes attached to the ER (endoplasmic reticulum), each specializing in the synthesis of different kinds of proteins. Through this intricate process, ribosomes play a crucial role in translating genetic information into functional proteins necessary for numerous cellular functions.
