Question
Gram-negative bacteria are surrounded by two membrane bilayers separated by a space termed the periplasm. The periplasm is a multipurpose compartment separate from the cytoplasm. The periplasm has a distinct oxidizing environment that allow certain key protein structural features to be formed. Can you identify an amino acid(s) that would be affected by this oxidizing environment? How would it be affected, and what structural features would be sensitive to this environment? Can you discuss the implications of this from a standpoint of recombinant protein expression?

To answer this question: Calculate the surface-to-volume ratio of a coccus, assuming it is a perfect sphere. Where radius (r) = 0.91 μm. surface-to-volume ratio of a coccus = ________________ Calculate the surface-to-volume ratio of a bacillus, assuming it is a cylinder. Where r = 0.5 μm and height (h) = 4 μm surface-to-volume ratio of a bacillus = _________________________ The values provided for the radius of the coccus and the radius and height for the bacillus will give approximately the same volume for the coccus and the bacillus. However, the surface area will differ. Now compare the surface-to-volume ratio of a coccus to a bacillus calculated with these values. Which has the higher surface area for the same amount of volume? Considering the coccus and bacillus of equal volume from the question above, Which is more likely to survive in a dry environment? Explain your answer.…arrow_forward
