(a)
Interpretation:
The complementary sequence for GATCAA in 5’-3’ notation should be determined.
Concept introduction:
The two stands of DNA are not identical; they are complementary to each other which results from base pairing. The base pairing takes place via hydrogen bonding between the two strands.
DNA sequencing is a process that determines the order of four bases A (adenine), T (thymine), G (guanine), C (cytosine).
(b)
Interpretation:
The complementary sequence for TCGAAC in 5’-3’ notation should be determined.

Propose a mođel that explains this scenario. 5. The right-hand panel in the linked figure shows sedimentation equilibrium analytical ultracentrifugation data for a mixture containing equimolar amounts of two fibrous proteins, Vps27 and Hsel. The blue circles are the data and the black line is the expected plot for a monodisperse 1:1 Vps27:Hsel complex of 23.7 kDa. In the left-hand panel, data is shown for Vps27 alone. The black line represents the expected curve for monomeric Vps27. Both experiments were run under identical conditions (same buffer, same spinning speed etc.) and the proteins have the same partial specific volume.arrow_forwardIn biochemical and structural terms, how does the cellular form of the prion protein differ from the infectious form? Can you also explain what is the biochemical basis for “infectiousness” of the prion protein?arrow_forward
