- Suppose that a protein has the amino acid sequence Met‑Tyr‑Asn‑Val‑Arg‑Val‑Tyr‑Lys‑Ala‑Lys‑Trp‑Leu‑Ile‑His‑Thr‑Pro A researcher plans to make a set of probes to screen a cDNA library for the sequence that encodes this protein. Her probes should be exactly 18 nucleotides in length. Consult the codon table. Select which amino acids in the protein should be used to minimize degeneracy when designing the probes.

- Consider the peptide Asp-Lys-Phe-Glu-Asn-Tyr-Gln-Val-Cys. In a single beaker, you treat this peptide with 2 proteases. One protease cleaves at the N-terminus of aromatic R groups and the other cleaves at the C-terminus of polar, non-ionizable R groups. Following the enzymatic digestion, you want to separate your peptide fragments so that you can identify them. You choose to separate the fragments using an anion exchange column. Beginning at pH=6 you apply your peptide fragments to the column and you gradually decrease the pH of the column stopping the separation when the pH of the column equals 4. Omitting chemical structures, write the amino acid sequence of the peptide fragments that are produced from this digest. Write the order that these fragments will elute from the column (if at all). (Relevant pKa values are: 2.1, 3.8, 4.3, 8.3, 9.6, 10.1, and 10.5)arrow_forwardConsider the following mRNA sequence: 5'-UUG ACC GAC-3'.
