As a researcher, you develop a drug which blocks the ribosomal subunits from coming together. What would be the implications to the cell? You also develop a drug that blocks the cis face of the golgi. What would happen to the cell?

Solutions

Expert Solution

If a drug binds to the 30S ribosomal subunit, it blocks the initiation of translation in cell or blocks attachment of tRNA to ribosome.

If the drug binds to the 50S ribosomal subunit of the cell, it blocks the release of tRNA and prevent continuation of protein synthesis or prevents the formation of peptide bond followed by blocking of protein synthesis in the cell.

If a drug blocks the cis face of the golgi, it prevents the movement of the lipids and proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum to the golgi apparatus.

Answer ASAP please!!! You are the researcher and you develop a hypothesis. It states that by providing relaxation therapy to a group of 10 smokers who average 20 cigarettes a day, you hypothesize that they will reduce the number of cigarettes they smoke after eight weeks of therapy. You will take measurements on the group you have provided relaxation therapy to after eight weeks and the mean is 16 cigarettes. You compare the mean to two other groups who did...
