A single-molecule microscopy experiment is performed on a slide containing 1000 molecules each of green, red, cyan, and yellow f

luorescent proteins (gfp, rfp, cfp, and yfp, respectively). the experiment measures the number of antibodies bound to each type of protein, finding that 900 molecules of gfp, 10 of rfp, 1 of cfp, and 3 of yfp are bound at 1 nm concentration of antibody.
a. what is the specificity of the antibody for gfp?

b. what is the kd of the gfp–antibody interaction?

Fireflies make their own light. The light they give off looks green. The spectrum of their light is shown. Describe how you woul
umka2103 [35]

Explanation: Fireflies produce a chemical reaction inside their bodies that allows them to light up. This type of light production is called bioluminescence. The method by which fireflies produce light is perhaps the best known example of bioluminescence. When oxygen combines with calcium, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and the chemical luciferin in the presence of luciferase, a bioluminescent enzyme, light is produced. Unlike a light bulb, which produces a lot of heat in addition to light, a firefly's light is "cold light" without a lot of energy being lost as heat. This is necessary because if a firefly's light-producing organ got as hot as a light bulb, the firefly would not survive the experience.

A firefly controls the beginning and end of the chemical reaction, and thus the start and stop of its light emission, by adding oxygen to the other chemicals needed to produce light. This happens in the insect's light organ. When oxygen is available, the light organ lights up, and when it is not available, the light goes out. Insects do not have lungs, but instead transport oxygen from outside the body to the interior cells within through a complex series of successively smaller tubes known as tracheoles. For a long time it was a mystery as to how some firefly species manage such a high flash rate, considering the relatively slow speed of the muscles that control oxygen transport. Researchers fairly recently learned that nitric oxide gas (the same gas that is produced by taking the d rug Viagra) plays a critical role in firefly flash control. In short, when the firefly light is ¿off," no nitric oxide is being produced. In this situation, oxygen that enters the light organ is bound to the surface of the cell's energy-producing organelles, called the Mitrochondria, and is thereby not available for transport further within the light organ. The presence of nitric oxide, which binds to the mitochondria, allows oxygen to flow into the light organ where it combines with the other chemicals needed to produce the bioluminescent reaction. Because nitric oxide breaks down very quickly, as soon as the chemical is no longer being produced, the oxygen molecules are again trapped by the mitochondria and are not available for the production of light.

Fireflies appear to light up for a variety of reasons. The larvae produce short glows and are primarily active at night, even though many species are subterranean or semi-aquatic. Fireflies produce defensive steroids in their bodies that make them unpalatable to predators. Larvae use their glows as warning displays to communicate their distastefulness. As adults, many fireflies have flash patterns unique to their species and use them to identify other members of their species as well as to discriminate between members of the opposite s  e  x. Several studies have shown that female fireflies choose mates depending upon specific male flash pattern characteristics. Higher male flash rates, as well as increased flash intensity, have been shown to be more attractive to females in two different firefly species.

Based on the DNA strand below, and assuming the promoter for this gene is located to the le\, which protein sequence below does
Art [367]
<h2>Protein sequence</h2>

Explanation:

  • The given sequence is of coding strand(5'-3' direction)

5’-ATGTTGAAAATGCCGTAGAGGC-3’  

  • Protein is made up of mRNA and mRNA has the same sequence as coding strand(only T is replaced by U) so the sequence of mRNA will be:

5’-AUGUUGAAAAUGCCGUAGAGGC-3’

According to the genetic code,3 bases code for one nucleotide and further nucleotide codes for amino acid,amino acids forms the base for protein

  • AUG codes for Methionine(Met)
  • UUG codes for Leucine(Leu)
  • AAA codes for Lysine(Lys)
  • AUG codes for Methionine(Met)
  • CCG codes for Proline(Pro)
  • UAG codes for stop codon(Stop)

Once the stop codon comes protein synthesis will be stopped,so the final protein sequence will be:

Met-Leu-Lys-Met-Pro-Stop
