Why asthmatic patients is a contraindication for aspirin?

aspirin blocks the COX-1 pathway, which helps for antiinflammatory purposes, but if you block this pathway, then all the arachidonic acid that begins that pathway gets diverted to the the leukotriene synthesis pathway via the enzyme lipooxygenase... which causes bronchoconstriction.


How does induction by IPTG differ from induction by lactose via allolactose?

Lactose is eventually metabolized in the cell to allolactose, which binds to the lacI repressor, leading to the induction of the lac promoter (or derivatives of the lac promoters). The allolactose is also eventually metabolised. IPTG does essentially the same as allolactose, however, it does not get metabolized. Moreover, since lactose gets transported in the cell by the lacY gene product and metabolized to allolactose by the lacZ gene product, lactose cannot be used in lacZY- strains for induction. IPTG, however, can be used since it does not require the two genes.

What is a prostaglandin hormone made from?

They are synthesized in the cell from the essential fatty acids (EFAs). An intermediate arachidonic acid is created from diacylglycerol via phospholipase-A2, then brought to either the cyclooxygenase pathway or the lipoxygenase pathway to form either prostaglandin and thromboxane or leukotriene respectively. The cyclooxygenase pathway produces thromboxane, prostacyclin and prostaglandin D, E and F. Alternatively, the lipoxygenase enzyme pathway is active in leukocytes and in macrophages and synthesizes leukotrienes. Dr.Fabianski Benjamin

What are two alternate carbon- fixing pathways used by plants in hot climates?

Two alternate carbon-fixing pathways used by plants in hot climates are the C4 pathway and the CAM (Crassulacean acid metabolism) pathway. In the C4 pathway, carbon fixation via PEP carboxylase occurs in mesophyll cells, and then the bundle sheath cells carry out the Calvin cycle. In the CAM pathway, plants open their stomata at night to take in CO2, which is stored in organic acids and used in the Calvin cycle during the day.
