A man feels a shooting pain in his arm, then a thundering in his chest. Realizing that he is in the throes of a heart attack, he reaches for his self-injector of tPA (tissue plasminogen activator) and quickly injects himself. The tPA begins to break apart the blood clots that are blocking his heart’s circulation. This lifesaving protein is naturally found in the human body in tiny amounts. The man’s tPA drug, although identical to his own, was manufactured in bacteria. a. How is it possible for bacteria to express protein that was coded for by a human gene? b. Due to certain advances in biotechnology, it became much cheaper to produce tPA. What DNA technology made it possible to produce large quantities of this protein in bacterial cells?

Endothelial cells lining blood vessels can produce large amounts of nitric oxide (NO). The NO diffuses out of the endothelial cells and into smooth muscle cells that are in close proximity. In the smooth muscle cells, NO binds to an enzyme, X, to rapidly increase intracellular levels of Y. Y causes rapid relaxation of smooth muscle cells surrounding the blood vessels. The actions of the Y molecule are controlled by enzyme Z which degrades protein Y into a non-functional form, blocking vasoconstriction and retaining high blood flow. Identify molecules X, Y and Z and explain how the drug Viagra targets this pathway.
One protein made by these cells is (myelin, actin, myosin) that is essential in neurological function as seen in ( multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, brain tumors) where the degeneration of the protein is observed and patients experience neurological symptoms.
It is said that “You are what you eat.” The molecules that we consume undergo biochemical reactions to be converted into the biological molecules that help our cells to perform many important roles. Explain the importance of a structural biological molecule and how its structure relates to its function. Describe or illustrate how biochemical reactions produce the biological molecule. You may find it helpful to include a diagram of the biological molecule as part of your response.
Millions of people take drugs called statins to lower serum cholesterol levels. In a small percentage of people taking these drugs, muscle pain, termed myopathy, is an adverse effect. In a small percentage of these individuals, the condition progresses to rhabdomyolysis, in which the sarcolemma breaks down. a. Physicians can measure a patient’s levels of creatine phosphokinase to track the safety of using a statin. Enzyme levels that exceed ten times what is normal indicate possible rhabdomyolysis. Explain what this elevated enzyme level indicates about the physiology of the muscle cell. b. Explain why a dusky, dark color in the urine, resulting from the presence of myoglobin, also indicates muscle breakdown. HINT When muscle cells break down, where do the molecules that were inside the cell go?
