Chapter 5.5, Problem 2EQ
Summary Introduction
To describe: The characterstics of CHIP28 that led to the speculation about water transport by Agre and associates.
Introduction: There are various methods of the transportation and the movement of molecules from one region to another region of the cell. It includes various types of transport mechanism like active transport, facilitated transport, endocytosis, passive transport, and so on. Very often more than one transport mechanism is involved in the transport of a solute. Hence, overall rate of the transported solute maybe higher than individual rates of movement of solute.

Part B) List four interactions of the Ffh M domain in SRP mechanism.
You were recently tasked with the responsibility of generating an aptamer that was capable of binding to protein K with high specificity.
a) Describe how you would utilize methods such as SELEX to identify aptamer candidates with the desired property.
b) Assuming that aptamer binding was dependent on the presence of a bound Mg2+ (no metal binding site on protein K) describe how you would account for this metal binding requirement in your SELEX workflow.

- In the "biochemical assay of b-galactosidase activity", what is o-nitrophenyl-b-D-galactosidase (ONPG) used for? O When ONPG is cleaved by b-galactosidase, we are able to assay b-galactosidase activity. O It provides essential nutrients for bacterial growth. It partially disrupts the cell membrane to allow cellular proteins to diffuse out of the cell. O ONPG cleaves the b-galactosidase that is made by the lac operon so we can see how much activity there is in the cell. ONPG cleaves galactose so we can measure how much lactose there is in the cell.arrow_forwardDo letter 4 and draw a titration curve as directed in letter 4 c) for pka 4.7, labelling all the axes.arrow_forwardWhat are 2 main challenges of protein targeting ?
