(a)

Summary Introduction

To explain: The result that when puromycin is added to a cell-free system containing all the necessary machinery for protein synthesis, incomplete polypeptide chains are released from the ribosomes.

Introduction: Puromycin is an antibiotic obtained from Streptomyces alboniger. This is primarily involved in the inhibition of protein synthesis. It is an inhibitor of translation in both the cells of prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The polypeptide chain end to which the puromycin will be attached.

Introduction: Puromycin is an antibiotic obtained from Streptomyces alboniger. This is primarily involved in the inhibition of protein synthesis. It is an inhibitor of translation in both the cells of prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms.

(c)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The puromycin will bind to A or P site on the ribosome or to both..

Introduction: Puromycin is an antibiotic obtained from Streptomyces alboniger. This is primarily involved in the inhibition of protein synthesis. It is an inhibitor of translation in both the cells of prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms.

(d)

Summary Introduction

To explain: If puromycin is a better inhibitor of protein synthesis in eukaryotes or bacteria.

Introduction: Puromycin is an antibiotic obtained from Streptomyces alboniger. This is primarily involved in the inhibition of protein synthesis. It is an inhibitor of translation in both the cells of prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms.

AAAGAGAAAAGAAUA to AAAGAGAAAUGAAUA. Suppose the codon sequence has a single base pair mutation If the old protein sequence was Lys-Glu-Lys-Arg-Ile, what will be the new sequence encoded by the mutant gene? (Use the 3-letter amino acid abbreviations with hyphens and no spaces in between, i.e. Ser-Asn-Tyr-Leu-Pro.) Submit Answer Retry Entire Group No more group attempts remain
An extra piece. In one type of mutation leading to a form of thalassemia, the mutation of a single base (G to A) generates a new 3' 3' splice site (blue in the illustration below) akin to the normal one (yellow) but farther upstream.

The reading frame after the splice site begins with TCT.
