All mammals have oxygen sensing system to directly monitor the oxygen availability and energy sensing system which indirectly monitors the carbon source supply. Considering the important role of nitrogen element in biologic system, one can assume the existence of a nitrogen-sensing system as well. If you agree, discuss what this system might be. If you do not agree, write down your reasoning and argument. Either way you choose, please cite relevant reference to support your argument.

Q3 In the presence of a template DNA, a primer and deoxyribonucleotides, DNA polymerase synthesises DNA by adding complementary bases at the end of the primer/growing chain. The DNA template and the primer sequences are as follows DNA template 5`- ATGCGTGCGTACATACGCAATTCGAATGCGCGCTAACGGCCTTGCG-3` Primer 5`-CGCAAGGCCGTTAGCGC-3`
a. Deduce the sequence of the next five bases that will be added to the primer when all reagents needed for DNA synthesis are supplied in the reaction.
b. Generate the sequence of the newly synthesised shortest labelled fragment if labelled ddATP was also added in the reaction mixture?

Look at this undecapeptide: Arg Asp Cys Glu Leu Lys Met Phe NH4+. What would each step do to the udecapeptide? Draw the final structure.
a. treatement with iodoacetate that had no affect on the undecapeptide.
b. treatment with 2 x 2-mercaptoethanol yielding a tripe-tide and octapeptide.
c. treatment with carboxypeptidase A liberated leucine.
d. treatment with cyanogen bromide yielding a methionine, a tripeptide and a heptapeptide.
The question states that these amino acids are only some components of the undecapeptide structure and that some amino acids within this structure may be repeated. The point is to determine the correct structure following several treatments. After these treatments, what conclusions can you make about the structure of the undecapeptide? What might the structure be?

The cells accumulate neutral red (pKa=7), their lysosomes swell-up to many times their normal size. The swelling cannot be accounted for simply by the mass of accumulated neutral red. Can you suggest what else may contribute to the swelling and why it occurs?
