Chapter 47, Problem 13TYU
Summary Introduction

To determine: Whether inactive form of proteolytic enzymes has any benefit.

Introduction: Digestive system consists of a collection of organs that help in the digestion of food materials and to convert them into basic energy-rich molecules for supplying them to the entire body. Proteins are one of the dietary components and essential nutrients for the human body. Proteins are digested in the stomach and small intestine with the help of protein-digesting enzymes.

A single polypeptide chain houses the transferase and debranching enzyme. Cite a potential advantage of this arrangement.
For each term, indicate 1) what kind of molecule the term refers to (DNA, RNA, protein) and 2) what process it most directly functions in. NOTE: also know whether or not it functions in prokaryotes, eukaryotes or both!! (it was just too unwieldy to add all those option to this question) catalytic component of the spliecesome operator sigma stop codon
The answer given in problem 31. 17 is inadequate for me, and I simply don't understand the explanation for the answer...  The problem is: Ribosoms were isolated from bacteria grown in a "heavy" medium (13C and 15N) and from bacteria grown in "light" medium (12C and 14N). These 70S ribosoms were added to an in vitro system engaged in protein synthesis. An aliquot removal serveral hours later was analyzed by density-gradient centrifugation. How many bands of 70S ribosoms would you expect to see in the density gradient? Is it possible to give a more comprehensive explanation?  :)
