Erythromycin is an antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections, by binding in front of the A site on the 50S subunit of a ribosome.

Why is Erythromycin effective against bacterial infections while causing minimal side effects on human cells?

Group of answer choices

1Bacterial ribosomes are 80S; cytoplasmic ribosomes in eukaryotes are 70S (so the drug will only target the bacterial ribosome)

2.Bacterial ribosomes are 70S; cytoplasmic ribosomes in eukaryotes are 80S (so the drug will only target the bacterial ribosome)

3.Erythromycin targets both bacterial and human cell structures

4.Human cells do not have cell walls

Which of the following processes is directly inhibited by this drug?

Group of answer choices

replication

translation

transcription

horizontal gene transfer

2. Predict the outcome of the removal of the N form the DNA sequence of the (lamda) phage:

A.

3. Which of the following is a possible mechanism for the action of NusA in termination?

A.

It binds to the RNA polymerase causing it to stall.

B.

It stimulates termination at intrinsic terminator by facilitating hairpin loop formation

C.

It binds to NusB to promote detachment of the RNA polymerase for the DNA template

D.

It interacts with S10 to promote dissociation of the RNA polymerase

E.

It binds to the RNA polymerase causing it to stall and it stimulates termination at intrinsic terminator by facilitating hairpin loop formation

Use the following information for all questions in this exercise.

Protein information:

TEVP: Extinction coefficient: 32,290 M-1cm-1, MW: 28.6 kD

GFP-POI: Extinction coefficient: 63,300 M-1cm-1, MW: 65.9 kD

GFP: Extinction coefficient: 30,430 M-1cm-1, MW: 32.1 kD

POI: Extinction coefficient: 32,850 M-1cm-1, MW: 33.8 kD

A protein sample of 10 mls, A280 0.655, containing a His-tagged GFP-linked protein with TEV site was treated with 50 ?ls of 1 mg/ml His-tagged TEV protease, then applied to a Ni-NTA column. We will assume that the TEV protease was complete with its reaction. The following represent the pooled fractions from each elution.

Initial flow through + 2 mls column wash: 12 mls, A280 = 0.283

Remaining column wash and low Im buffer had no significant absorbance  

High Im buffer: 6 mls, A280 = 0.534

Questions:

1) What is the amount of GFP-POI in nanomoles?

- I know we use Beer's Law; however, I do not know what absorbance value we should be using.

2) What is the amount of TEVP added in nanomoles?

3) What is the concentration of the POI (in mg/ml)

4) Based on this concentration, convert the POI to nanomoles and compare to the amount of GFP-POI. If they are the same, then we can assume the initial pool of GFP-POI was pure. If they are different, then there must have been an impurity present. Is your sample pure? Answer yes or no:

5) What is the absorbance due to TEVP in the pooled fractions that contain it?

*Note: More info on topic - High imidazole buffer should elute both GFP and TEVP.

Please help, and thank you!

Colorblindness is an X-linked recessive trait. Let us assume that a colorblind man has a colorblind sister and his mother has normal vision.

What is the genotype, as to color vision, of this man’s mother and of his father?

What kind of color vision will his sons and his daughters have, and in what ratios, if he marries a woman identical in genotype to his mother?

Choose the correct type of expression for each example.

Inducible, Constitutive, or both?

An enzyme that breaks down sucrose is only expressed in the presence of sucrose.

  Inducible, Constitutive, or both?

An enzyme is continuously produced regardless of the chemical makeup of the environment.

  Inducible, Constitutive, or both?

A researcher wants to have an enzyme produced in a bacteria that he can turn on at a specific time, which type of promoter should he choose?

  Inducible, Constitutive, or both?

A researcher wants to express a protein in a plant at the same level regardless of the stage of life or nutrients present, which type of promoter should he use to express that gene?

  1. Many antibiotics work by attacking various stages in the production of peptidoglycan in the cell wall of bacteria. Bacteria and Archaea are both prokaryotes that possess a cell wall. Yet antibiotics such as penicillin disrupts the cell wall of susceptible bacteria but generally do not affect Archaea at all. Why?
