- What is a mutation?arrow_forwardA classic way to isolate thymidylate synthase-negative mutants of bacteria is to treat a growing culture with thymidine and trimetho- prim. Most of the cells are killed, and the survivors are greatly enriched in thymidylate synthase-negative mutants. (a) What phenotype would allow you to identify these mutants? (b) What is the biochemical rationale for the selection? (That is, why are the mutants not killed under these conditions?) (c) How would the procedure need to be modified to select mam- malian cell mutants defective in thymidylate synthase?arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements regarding Anfinsen's denaturing experiments with ribonuclease A are valid? (i) Exposing the denatured protein to air oxidation and then dialysis to remove urea restored the protein to its original functionality. (ii) Removing urea by dialysis and then allowing air oxidation of the denatured protein restored the protein to its original functionality. (iii) Denaturing the protein with both urea and β-mercaptoethanol yielded an inactive protein. (iv) Protein folding is determined by its primary sequence.arrow_forward
