Why does a sour tastant percieve more quickly when you taste grapefruit juice? Explain why based on the transduction mechanism.

Diagram the possible outcomes of site-specificrecombination.

Give one examples of mutaion?

What type of experiment can be performed to confirm that the C-terminal KDEL tetrapeptide is both necessary and sufficient in ER localization?  (Necessary meaning that without KDEL, ER retrieval would not occur, and sufficient meaning that with KDEL, we would definitely see its effect (ER retrieval would occur))

Explain the mode of action of transcription inhibitor metarrestin. Explain why transcription inhibitor is a good anticancer drug.

Finding drugs to treat viruses is far more challenging than finding drugs to treat bacteria.  A. Why the difference?        Ans: Viruses need a host cell to replicate and a bacteria needs food to continue to replicate.                                     B. What can anti-viral drugs target in order to bring a viral infection under control, or to prevent a viral infection in the first place?               Ans: To bring an infection under control you would want to inhibit protease so it could not break down the polypeptide protein chain down into new protein coats. C. What can anti-viral drugs target to prevent a viral infection in the first place?             Ans: To prevent a viral infection in the first place you could take a medication that would alter the surface receptor, fill in the surface receptor or inhibits the viral surface protein all together. D. Offer 2 examples of drugs used to control viral infections (specify virus) and how do they  work on different targets. Ans:…
