The expected pathway that is followed from the inside to the outside of the cell by: a) a lysosomal enzyme, b) a protein, which is excreted from the cell. Introduction: The motion of proteins is followed within a cell with the help of a pulse-chase experiment, in which the proteins are tagged during their synthesis. The tagging is done using radioactive isotope (radio-labeled amino acid), known as pulse, and the cells are monitored for protein synthesis for the certain time period. The proteins incorporate the isotope and are labeled. Their location is then detected by isolating and separating the cell organelles and checking for radioactivity. This experiment is used to study various proteins such as protein kinases and ubiquitin.

Two co-op students at your start-up company have been asked to evaluate the rate of reaction occurring in a transparent gel particle containing immobilized mouse melanoma cells. The equation for the reaction rate ris is: Vmax T'As Km+CAs where R=3.2 mm, Vmax= 0.12 gmol s' m3, CAS = 41 gmol m3, and Km=0.8 gmol m3. One student reports a reaction rate of 1.6x10 gmol st; the other reports 1.6x10 1º gmol s1. You left your calculator on the bus this morning, but must know quickly which student is correct. Use an order-of- magnitude calculation to identify the right answer. Which student is correct?

After calculating the extinction coefficient for lysozyme above, you convert it into ml mg cm1 units. (You need not do the calculation, just suppose you did). To calculate the protein concentration in your column fractions (W1-3, E1-2), would your calculated extinction coefficient be a better choice than 1.5 mL mg 1 cm1 value listed in the theory section of your pre-lab? Why or why not? (Choose the best response) Yes, because we expect all of the column fractions to be mainly lysozyme. No, because most, if not all, the column fractions are mixtures of 2 or more proteins. Trick question, we should use the values calculated by EXPASY for lysozyme. Yes, because my calculated value is more accurate than values from the literature. ONo, because lysozyme is still stuck to the column and shouldnot be in any of our column fractions.
