Question
Chapter 29, Problem 14P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The advantages of the substrate-induced absorption band needs to be explained.
Concept introduction:
DNA photolysis are the DNA repair enzymes that repair the damage caused by exposure to UV light. These require visible light whose wavelength is more than 300 for their own activation.

Polymerase inhibition. Cordycepin inhibits poly(A) synthesis at low
concentrations and RNA synthesis at higher concentrations.

он
Cordycepin (3'-deoxyadenosine)
a. What is the basis of inhibition by cordycepin?
b. Why is poly(A) synthesis more sensitive than the synthesis of other
RNAS to the presence of cordycepin?
c. Does cordycepin need to be modified to exert its effect?
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.

What is the amino acid sequence of the extra segment of protein
synthesized in a thalassemic patient having a mutation leading to
aberrant splicing? The reading frame after the splice site begins with
TCT.
Leaderless. The MRNA for the A repressor begins with 5'-AUG-3',
5'-AUG-3', which encodes the methionine residue that begins the
protein. What is unusual about this beginning? Would it cause the
MRNA to translate efficiently or not?

For example, a widely used anti-cancer agent, 5-fluorouracil, is a pyrimidine analog that is incorporated into nucleotide form and affects DNA synthesis by inhibiting the activity of [ Select ] ["thymidine kinase", "ribunucleotide reductase"] , the enzyme required to synthesize [ Select ] ["dTMP", "dUMP"] . This inhibition of DNA replication affects both cancer and normal cells, and hence there are serious side effects of these agents including [ Select ] ["immune system suppression", "hyperallergenic reaction"] and damage to the [ Select ] ["lining of the GI tract", "connective tissue of cartilage"] . Methotrexate, was the first drug to actually cure a cancer, choriocarcinoma, in 1958, and serves to block the activity of [ Select ] ["dihydrofolate reductase", "serine hydroxymethyl-transferase"] , another enzyme required for the synthesis of dTMP.arrow_forwardChemiosmosis. ATP synthesis in chloroplasts is usually light dependent; it does not happen in the dark. When researchers shifted isolated chloroplasts from a low pH solution to a more alkaline (higher pH) solution, ATP synthesis occurred even in the absence of light! This was an experiment used to support the chemiosmosis mechanism of ATP formation in chloroplasts. Why? What would happen if the isolated chloroplasts were shifted to a lower pH solution? What would be the results if the above experiments were performed in the presence of light? If these experiments were performed in mitochondria instead of chloroplasts, what results would we expect?arrow_forward
