Question

1. No, the insulin hormone is not bound to plasma proteins. This is because they are protein hormone which can easily be transported in blood without any requirement of plasma proteins.

2. The insulin hormone is removed from the body by liver and kidneys. The metabolism of insulin take place in liver where it is degraded into its simpler component which is amino acid. The metabolic end product of insulin is amino acid which make the protein.

3. Insulin half -life is 15 minutes. Therefore after 30 minutes it start to metabolize and degradation.

Suppose you find four new proteins, that you have named proteins A, B, C, and D. You have determined that they regulate the cell cycle, so they must be either cyclins or CDKs. You are interested in figuring out which of the four proteins are cyclins, and which are CDKs. In an experiment using budding yeast, you find that protein A is found at higher concentrations when the bud on the yeast cells is small, and is complexed with protein...
