You are studying COVID-19 which infects bat cells through an interaction between a lysine residue on a viral protein with an aspartic acid residue on the bat cell protein. You discover that when the virus made the jump into human cells, the virus mutated the lysine residue to leucine. Based on your knowledge of amino acid chemistry, which amino acid(s) will the leucine most likely interact with? Briefly explain your answer.

- Each of the ff. involves a disorder in the function of an organelle or other cell structure. Identify the organelle or structure involved and indicate whether it is likely to be underactive or active. a) A maize plant is unable to survive due to recessive lethal gene which causes albinism. b) A baby is placed on a low phenylalanine diet as his newborn screening results revealed that he inherited phenylketonuria. c) A man develops pleiomorphic liposarcoma (rare cancer). The cause of the problem is a hard mass of cells in his right inner thigh that rapidly increased in size in a matter of 2 months. d) A girl suddenly felt weak and manifested cyanide poisoning symptoms after ingesting undercooked cassava which contains cyanoglycosides. e) A male chef learns that he is infertile because his sperm are non-motile.

You isolate the suspected protein from a person with this cancer and compare it to the same protein in a person without the cancer. You discover that the protein isolated from the cancer patient is slightly smaller in size when compared to the protein from the unaffected patient. Furthermore, you discover that the protein from the cancer patient differs in almost every amino acid starting after the twenty-third amino acid. What is the likely explanation?arrow_forwardYou are a molecular biologist studying a defective human protein that is known to be a cause of a rare cancer.

- To construct an “interactome” like the one shown in Figure 9-21, scientists identify all of the protein interactions in a particular tissue or cell type. Comparison of interactomes from human muscle versus human brain tissue reveals very different patterns. If you were the scientist involved in this study, how would you explain these results?arrow_forwardWhich of the following best describes the central dogma of molecular biology? A) mRNA is transcribed into DNA, which is then translated into a protein B) DNA is transcribed into mRNA, which is then translated into a protien C) DNA is translated into mRNA, which is then transcribed into a protein D) DNA is replicated into mRNA, Which is then transcribed into a protein E) mRNA is translated into DNA, which is then translated into a proteinarrow_forwardWhich term among A-D is not correctly matched with its definition? A) O Slime layer: loose assemblage of polysaccharide material external to the cell envelope B) O Polysome or polyribosome formation: multiple ribosomes binding to a messenger RNA transcript C) O Replisome: two of these complexes working in opposite directions are needed to copy the bacterial chromosome D) O Nucleoid: cytoplasmic area containing the bacterial chromosome E) OA-D are all correctly matchedarrow_forward

- Gene editing is also used to explore the structure and function ofproteins. For example, changes can be made to the coding sequenceof a gene to determine how alterations in the amino acid sequenceaffect the function of a protein. Let’s suppose that you areinterested in the functional importance of a particular glutamicacid (an amino acid) within a protein you are studying. By geneediting, you make mutant proteins in which the glutamic acidcodon has been changed to other codons. You then test the encodedmutant proteins for functionality. The results are as follows: FunctionalityNormal protein 100%Mutant proteins containingTyrosine 5%Phenylalanine 3%Aspartic acid 94%Glycine 4%From these results, what would you conclude about the…arrow_forwardWhich of the following describe how the order of nucleotide bases along a gene in the DNA ultimately determines the primary structure of a protein and how the primary structure ultimately determines the three-dimensional shape and function of the protein coded for by that gene. A Certain amino acids in a protein interact with other amino acids in that same protein and so the order of amino acids ultimately determines the 3-dimensional tertiary structure of that protein. B The order of nucleotide bases along the DNA is transcribed into complementary tRNA which is translated into the correct amino acid sequence for the protein by mRNA. C The order of nucleotide bases along a gene determines the order of amino acids in the resulting protein. The order of amino acids in the protein is called its secondary structure.arrow_forwardConsider Molecule X, which is found in all living cells. Each form of this molecule is keyed to the genetic code for a particular amino acid. When activated, the amino acid is covalently bonded to one end of this molecule, and it carries the amino acid to a ribosome to take part in protein assembly. What is the name of X? Your answer should be one word, or a short two- or three-word phrase. Spelling counts. Note: if there is more than one possible answer, separate each answer with a comma. 0arrow_forward
