Oh No! One of the tRNA genes in E.coli was mutated so that the wrong amino acid was charged onto it. Now, the amino acid that should be on the tRNA containing the anticodon 5'-CCA-3' is replaced with an Asp. DNA SEQUENCE: 5'-ATG TAG TTA TCC AAC CCT CCA AAA CAT GCA CCT CCT TAC TCA AGC AGG CAT ACG-3' a. Write out the protein sequence (using the DNA sequence from the problem above) that would be made in this situation. (3 pts) b. Does this mutation just affect this protein? What are the overall consequences of this type of mutation in e.coli? (3 pts)

If you take into account the amount of ATP generated by ATP
synthase per molecule of NADH and
FADH2 produced in aerobic respiration, the net number of ATP
molecules produced by substrate
level phosphorylation, and the fact that NADH molecules produced in
the cytoplasm have to be
transported into the mitochondria, what is the predicted energy
yield of (i) glycolysis and (ii) Krebs
cycle, per molecule of glucose in eukaryotic cells?

2. Why do cancer cells utilize glycolysis over respiration? The prevailing theory is that they choose to divert glycolytic intermediates into biosynthetic pathways in order to support cellular proliferation. Briefly describe two of these biosynthetic pathways, including the enzymes and metabolites involved, and any cancer-associated alterations (up-down-regulation).

Although not part of glycolysis,
endogenous stores of phosphocreatine in skeletal muscle are
suggested to provide a reserve of ATP through substrate-level
phosphorylation, as shown below:
a) Phosphocreatine + H2O ? Creatine + Pi + 10.3 kcal/mol
b) ADP +
Pi + 7.3 kcal/mol ? ATP + H2O
Add these two reactions together (including the energy terms) to show the net, coupled reaction
