5’ AGT AAC GGC AGA CTT CTC CTC AGG AGT CAG GTG CAC CAT 3’
3'UCA UUG CCG UCU GAA GAG GAG UCC UCA GUC CAC GUG GUA 5'
2. Translate your new RNA sequence using the genetic code. Remember that when determining your amino acid sequence, the RNA sequence is read from 5’ to 3’.

Post-Lab Questions
1. How long are each of your peptide chains (how many amino acids are present)?
The proteins are made up of multiple units of amino acid. When we talk about peptide
chains they are combination of multiple amino acids. Each of the peptide chain consists
of many amino acids and the number varies.
2. What differences exist between your two transcripts? What about your translated product?
3. Hb A represents a section of the 626 base normal hemoglobin beta mRNA sequence. Hb S is from the sickle cell hemoglobin. Is the mutation found in sickle cell hemoglobin a point mutation or a frameshift mutation?
4. Does the sickle cell mutation result in a missense mutation, silent mutation or nonsense mutation? Why?
A missense mutation is the cause of the disease, sickle cell anemia In a missense mutation, a change in one base pair causes a single amino acid to be changed in the resulting protein. In sicle cell anaemia there is missence mutation in ?-globin gene where glutamic acid (E/Glu) being substituted by valine (V/Val) at position 6.

Description: Unnatural amino acid mutagenesis might be one of the most groundbreaking achievements in modern biochemistry. This process allows for the incorporation of amino acids not coded for by the body (one's different from the 20 amino acids you studied in this course). This process allows scientists to use amino acids with different functional groups not found in nature.
Instructions: You will investigate how unnatural amino acid mutagenesis works. Take time to examine what changes needed to be made to the tRNA to allow for an unnatural amino acid to be used instead of the native substrate. Also focus on what codons are used to recognize the modified tRNA. How many different codons are there that can be used? What are they called? Please cite any sources used in this discussion (should contain 5-10 sources). This paper should be around 1-3 pages and cover a good deal of detail on how this process works. If you would like to submit early, I would be more than happy to look over it and return it with some suggestions.

Description
The Home pregnancy test strips are classified under “Rapid immunological tests”; the strips are a form of a solid phase immunoassay. It follows the basic immunological principles of binding of an antigen to an antibody.
Instructions
Describe what an immunoassay is. Describe how this strip works. Describe what the antigen in this test is, and how this antigen binds only to its antibody and nothing else. What is the region of an antigen that reacts with an antibody called? What happens during the test? There are two lines on the strip-what do these two lines indicate, and what does the change in color of the control line validate? Sometimes, using this test too early in the pregnancy will not yield an accurate test result. Why would this be? What is the earliest point in pregnancy that such a test can be used reliably? Rapid tests have a shelf life leading to inaccuracies past the “use by” date. What would be the reason for this “use by” limit? Which the materials could cause inaccurate results?

David defeated Goliath (according to the bible): triumph of the
weak against the strong and/or the struggle between faith and
science. Please search first, what type of vision is present in a
person that has a tumor compressing the optic chiasm.
Is there a possibility (moving a little bit
away from faith) that Goliath suffered from gigantism (a
hypophyseal tumor) producing an excess of growth hormone and
compressing the optic chyasm and could not see where David
was??
