(1) In an experiment, you purify a cysteine-charged tRNA and chemically alter the amino acid attached to it by converting it to alanine. You place this charged tRNA in a cell-free protein-synthesizing system with all of the other charged tRNAs, mRNA and other substances needed for the synthesis of proteins. Why might this have an effect on the final protein produced (be specific)? (2) _____What would happen to a “housekeeping” receptor that is endocytosed from the plasma membrane? It would...

You are studying a gene that encodes a particular protein; part of the amino acid sequence of that protein is shown below: …-His-Val-Pro-Thr-Asp-Leu-Glu-… You isolate a mutant version of this protein; the mutation abolishes the function of the protein. When you sequence the mutant protein, you see the following amino acid sequence: …-His-Val-Leu-Asp-Arg-Leu-Gly-… Answer/do the following (refer to the Codon Chart below): a. What was the most likely type of mutation (missense, nonsense, or frameshift) that occurred in the...

1. When part of a protein chain, the amino acid proline also lacks a backbone hydrogen bond donor; mutations to proline will delete a backbone hydrogen bond. List two reasons why proline mutagenesis is problematic for selectively studying backbone hydrogen bonds. 2. Draw chemical structures for the amino acids or hydroxy acids with these abbreviations: A, α, F, ϕ 3. Draw the structure of one of the 20 canonical amino acids whose side chain contains a hydrogen bond donor group....
