Using affinity chromatography, you have attempted to purify an enzyme as a fusion protein that was expressed in E. coli. SDS-PAGE analysis shows that the eluted sample contains the enzyme and it appears to be very pure.

Briefly describe, in general terms, a method you could use to determine the concentration of the enzyme in the eluted sample. Describe the advantages and disadvantages of your approach.

Osteogenesis imperfecta is a disease caused by a mutation in collagen (type X), which causes the infected individual to have brittle bones that easily fracture. Collagen typically has a triple helical structure consisting of three intertwined polypeptide chains (as shown below) with each polypeptide chain having a glycine every third amino acid.

While Osteogenesis imperfecta can be caused by a variety of mutations, a single amino acid change is sufficient to cause certain forms of the disease. If the mutation resulted in the glycine being changed to another amino acid, which amino acid do you think would be most likely be responsible for this disease? In a sentence, explain your choice.

Write down both the tRNA and coding DNA sequence for the amino acid found in the wild-type protein. Make sure to label the 5’ and 3’ ends.

Where in the cell would collagen be produced? Briefly explain why.

In worms, the genes for the production of the enzyme Aldolase and the enzyme Hyclase are on the same chromosome. A = dominant, can produce Aldolase; a = recessive, cannot produce Aldolase. H = dominant, can produce Hyclase; h = recessive, cannot produce Hyclase.

You cross an AaHh worm with an aahh worm and get the following progeny:

16 Wild type

76 Do not produce Aldolase

82 Do not produce Hyclase

12 Produce neither Aldolase nor Hyclase
