Question
Chapter 31, Problem 40P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The explanation of ribosomal addition of bacteria and eukaryotes should be determined.
Concept introduction:
The complex composition of rRNA (ribosomal RNA) and protein molecules is termed as the ribosomes. It acts as a factory for the process of protein synthesis. They are mostly found attached to the endoplasmic reticulum, and some ribosomes are found to suspend freely in the cytoplasm of the cell.

I need help with understanding this homework problem. Please answer it clearly and explain why. This is specifically for Biochemistry.
I need help with this question. I have an exam in biological chemistery this month, so I try to be prepared. This is an exam question from last year, that I'm trying to figure out how to calculate WITHOUT using computer (its not allowed during exam).
I will appreciate details when explaining this exercise, so I can understand it. Thank you.

- [Ten - Biomolecules] INSTRUCTIONS — Answer the following multiple-choice questions and EXPLAIN in 3-5 sentences why you chose that answer. — Answer properly Questions; Thomas was purifying an enzyme from a homogenate of muscle cells. He went through seven steps of purification and found that the enzyme activity was the same as the homogenate value. On the eighth step, when the protein washighly pure, the enzyme activity rose to five times that of the homogenate value. Can you suggest a possible reason? A. the homogenate assay was wrong B. step eight has co-purified an activator of the enzyme. C. the enzyme has an inhibitor present in the muscle cell homogenate D. the temperature at step eight was just right for the enzyme activity.arrow_forwardPeptide mass determination. You have isolated a proteinfrom the bacterium E. coli and seek to confirm its identityby trypsin digestion and mass spectrometry. Determinationof the masses of several peptide fragments has enabled youto deduce the identity of the protein. However, there is adiscrepancy with one of the peptide fragments, whichyou believe should have the sequence MLNSFK and an(M 1 H)1 value of 739.38. In your experiments, yourepeat edly obtain an (M 1 H)1 value of 767.38. What isthe cause of this discrepancy and what does it tell youabout the region of the protein from which this peptide isderived?arrow_forwardComponents of Complex Biomolecules Figure 1-10 (Lehninger's Biochemistry book) shows the major components of complex biomolecules.

- CENTRAL DOGMA & STRUCTURE-FUNCTION RELATIONSHIPS IN PROTEINS You are a bacteriologist studying a pathogenic protein (the "BAD" protein) that contributes to diseases caused by Staphylococcus aureus. BAD functions as an aß heterodimer, and the a subunit (25kD) and ß subunit (75KD) are held together by an electrostatic interaction between K in the a subunit and D in the B subunit. You are trying to dissociate the BAD subunits to prevent pathogenesis in the bacteria. Which mutation would you make to prevent the BAD subunits from forming a dimer? Assume neutral pH. (A) introduce AAA → AGA point mutation in the a subunit gene (B) introduce GAC → GAG point mutation in the ß subunit gene (C) introduce GAT → CGT point mutation in the ß subunit gene (D) introduce two point mutations: AAG → GTG in the a subunit gene & GAC → CTC in the B subunit gene (E) introduce two point mutations: AAA → TGC in the a subunit gene & GAT → TGT in the B subunit gene second base in codon A TGT Cys TGC Cys TTT Phe…arrow_forwardAffinity chromatography You have created a fusion protein tagged with Glutathione-S-Transferase (GST). Your lab mate tells you that the affinity columns for this type of tagged protein are very similar to that of Histadine tagged proteins. Using the following elements set up a purification column and construct a protocol for an affinity purification using this tag. A large amount of glutathione is usually used to elute the tagged protein off the column.

- This is DNA. Locate the nitrogen bases (nitrogens are blue). Where are they located in the molecule?Locate the sugars and phosphates, and describe their location. Adjacent nucleotides are linked by covalent phosphodiester bonds (-O-P-O-) produced by a condensation reaction. What parts of the adjacent nucleotides are linked by phosphodiester bonds?Two nitrogenous bases extending towards the middle of the double helix. Are there any covalent bonds between these bases?If there are no covalent bonds between these bases, what other kinds of bonds might hold the two strands of the double helix together?arrow_forward7 Protein structure.Circle one of the three amino acid sequences that is most likely to form a stable a-helix?
