) To better understand how the lacR works, let's start let's approximate the volume ofa bacterial cell by treating it as a cylinder with radius that is 0.5 um and length that is2 um. What is the volume of the cylinder in liters, L)?Next, let's calculate the concentrations of the lacR (ligand) and the operator site(Op) (primary receptor) in this volume. There are 10 lacR molecules in the cell and 1operator site. Using this information calculate [lacR] and [Op] in molar units in onecell? (see eq. 13.17 and 13.18). [lacR] total10 molecules·X·6x102³ molecules mol-¹10-¹5 L2×108 M1(13.17)The concentration of the single operator site in the cell, [Op]total, is given by:1 site1[Op]total =-X-16x1023 sites mol-¹ 10-¹5 L≈2×10⁹ M(13.18)

In the absence of tension, MscL channel has an energy gap separating the closed and open states Eo = 50 kT. MscL opening is associated with a 20 nm2 in-plane protein expansion (DA). Using Excel plot its open probability (Po) as a function of membrane tension and paste the graph below. What will be the open probabilities of two MscL channels if one situates at the pole of the bacterial cell above, another in the middle?
One thousand Ca2+ channels open in the plasma membrane of a cell that is 1000 μm3 in size and has a cytosolic Ca2+ concentration of 100 nM. for how long would the channels need to stay open in order for the cytosolic Ca2+ concentration to rise to 5 μm? There is virtually unlimited Ca2+ available in the outside medium (the extracellular Ca2+ concentration in which most animal cells live is a few millimolar), and each channel passes 106 Ca2+ ions per second.
Two co-op students at your start-up company have been asked to evaluate the rate of reaction occurring in a transparent gel particle containing immobilized mouse melanoma cells. The equation for the reaction rate ris is: Vmax T'As Km+CAs where R=3.2 mm, Vmax= 0.12 gmol s' m3, CAS = 41 gmol m3, and Km=0.8 gmol m3. One student reports a reaction rate of 1.6x10 gmol st; the other reports 1.6x10 1º gmol s1. You left your calculator on the bus this morning, but must know quickly which student is correct. Use an order-of- magnitude calculation to identify the right answer. Which student is correct?
= A different Fab fragment binds to lysozyme with a dissociation constant of Ka 10-6 M. A 1 nM (10-9 M) solution of lysozyme is treated with increasing concentrations of this Fab fragment. At what concentration of added Fab will half of the lysozyme be bound to this Fab? [F] = ab M
A sample of a protein is analyzed by CE using a neutral-coated capillary with a total length of 25.0 cm and a distance to the detector of 22.0 cm. Using an applied voltage of 20.0 kV, the protein was detected at a migration time of 16.2 min. The diffusion coefficient for the protein is 2.4 x 10-7 cm?/s. (a) Calculate the apparent electrophoretic mobility of the protein. (b) Calculate the expected number of theoretical plates for the analysis.
r^2=6Dt , where D is the diffusion coefficient of thediffusing object and t is the time that the object is allowed to diffuse. If the diffusion coefficient, D, of a small protein is 5 x 10^-10 m2 s-1, how long (on average) does ittake for the protein to diffuse across a parasitic wasp that is 189 um long ?
The ACE2 receptor protein in humans has been getting a lot of press these days, as it apparently serves as a "receptor" for the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus in addition to its normal functions. This protein has an isoelectric pH of 5.36. Suppose you want to purify this protein to study its properties, with the goal of developing a drug that would block it from binding the virus. Once you have purified the cell surface proteins from your cultured human lung cells away from all the other types of molecules in the cell, and all the cytoplasmic proteins, you might decide to use ion exchange chromatography to separate the ACE2 proteins from other proteins in your sample. If you plan to load your protein mixture onto your ion exchange column in a buffer at pH 7.4 (approximately physiological pH) and you want the ACE2 proteins to bind to the column, should you use a resin with a positive charge or a negative charge? Briefly explain why you chose the resin you selected.
Protein A binds to Ligand X with a Kd of 1 μM. Protein B binds to Ligand Y with a Kd of 100 nM. Which of the following statements is TRUE? A. Protein A binds Ligand X ten times tighter than Protein B binds Ligand Y B. At a sufficiently high concentration of ligand, the binding becomes irreversible C. When the concentration of Ligand X is 1 μM, 50% of Protein A is bound to ligand D. Protein B binds to Ligand Y with a Kd of 1 × 10-8 mol/L. E. When both binding reactions are at equilibrium, Protein A has more Ligand X bound than Protein B has ligand Y bound The answer is C, could you show how to get the answer? Thanks
In the lab you will prepare a dye solution to test transmembrane transport into yeast cells. The dye stock solution has a concentration of 5 mM. For your experiment, you want the dye concentration to be at 0.25 mM. You do the dilution with water. Select among the following, which of the following method(s) will give you the correct final concentration of dye? 1) adding 1 ml of stock solution to 19 ml of water. 2) making a 25-fold dilution. 3) adding 100 ml of water to 5 ml of dye stock solution. 4) diluting 3 ml of concentrated dye with water to a final volume of 60 ml. A. All methods are accurate B. only methods 1, 2 and 3 are accurate C. only methods 1, 3 and 4 are accurate D. only methods 1 and 4 are accurate E. only method 3 is accurate F. None of the methods reflect the proper dilution method.(edited) [3:16 PM]
How many copies of a protein need to be presentin a cell in order for it to be visible as a band on an SDSgel? Assume that you can load 100 μg of cell extract ontoa gel and that you can detect 10 ng in a single band by sil-ver staining the gel. The concentration of protein in cellsis about 200 mg/mL, and a typical mammalian cell has avolume of about 1000 μm3 and a typical bacterium a vol-ume of about 1 μm3. Given these parameters, calculatethe number of copies of a 120-kd protein that would needto be present in a mammalian cell and in a bacterium inorder to give a detectable band on a gel. You might try anorder-of-magnitude guess before you make the calcula-tions.

How would the critical concentration for the minus end of a polymer formed by these mutant subunits compare to that of the minus end of a fiber formed by normal microtubule subunits? Why? How would the critical concentration for the minus end of a fiber formed by these mutant subunits compare to that of the plus end of a fiber formed by normal microtubule subunits? Why?
