Acids single replacement

In this activity, you will use a few metals, their compounds, and dilute hydrochloric acid to show single-replacement reactions and construct an activity series. 

The second type of point mutation results in the replacement of one amino acid with another. Such mutations will have more or less of an effect depending on which amino acid is changed. Obviously, if a critical amino acid is replaced by one that is unable to provide the same function, the protein will lose some or all of its activity. Mutations within that Ras and Src genes are two examples in which point mutations lead to disease. In the case of the Ras protein, substitution of a single amino acid, most commonly at either position 12 or 61, is associated with the occurrence of several human tumors. In the case of the Src protein, a point mutation that occurs in a tyrosine residue leads to the constitutive activation of the protein and is associated once again with several types of tumors. 

Tellurium bis[bis(2-hydroxyethyl)dithiocarbamate] and a thirty-fold molar excess of potassium bromide, iodide, or thiocyanate reacted in acetone acidified with acetic acid with replacement of one dithiocarbamate group per two molecules of tellurium dithiocarbamate by halide or thiocyanate. The deep-red crystals are stable as solids but decompose with deposition of tellurium when dissolved in methanol. The single-crystal X-ray structural analysis of the thiocyanato derivative revealed the presence of two chemically different tellurium atoms in the molecule that are in short contact1. 

Single-replacement reaction magnesium replaces hydrogen in nitric acid, and hydrogen gas is formed.

C. aurantiacus strain J-lO-fl was grown at 56°C on the medium described in (2) modified as follows the concentrations of yeast extract and glycyl-glycine were decreased to 0.025 % and 0.01 % (w/v), respectively. All sources of inorganic nitrogen were omitted and the concentration of Fe-ions was increased to 10 pM. Casamino acids were replaced by single amino acids as indicated.
