Investigators wish to purify an enzyme—a serine protease—using affinity chromatography. They attach to the matrix of an affinity

column an antibody molecule that binds specifically to a short sequence of amino acids located in the enzyme’s active site. When they apply a mixture of proteins to the column, the protease adheres to the column and the other proteins pass through. To extract their purified enzyme from the column, the investigators add a large excess of the peptide that the antibody recognizes. What should they expect to occur after this treatment?

Answer:

After this treatment, the investigators should expect to get a mixture of the desired enzyme, plus fragments of the peptide used to desorb the enzyme in question.

This would be the result of using a peptide as a desorption solution when the desired protein is a protease,

Assuming that the protease retains its activity in the medium in question, and that the peptide can act as a substrate (which would make sense), as the peptide solution is added, it will interact with and bind to the antibody, but some molecules will also interact with the active site of the enzyme as it desorbs and passes through, culminating on the elution of the hydrolized part of the peptide along with the enzyme.

How a change in glycoproteins affects a cell’s ability to maintain homeostasis
Licemer1 [7]

Explanation:

Most of the cell surface receptors and glycoproteins. These glycoproteins have active sites that recognize specific signals, like hormones, that initiate secondary signaling pathways inside of the cell, in response to the external signal. This is how cells respond to environmental stimuli.

If a change in glycoproteins makes them unable to bind signaling molecules (like hormones) or makes them permanently bind these molecules, there will definitely be a defect in how the cell responds to external stimuli.  The cell will be, for example, be unable to respond to insulin in case of elevated blood sugar levels as is the case with diabetics.

Identify the type of mutation that occurred and explain in what way it affected the protien
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

The type of mutation that occurs when in the DNA strand there is a change from guanine to cytosine is a nonsense mutation, since the triplet that should encode the amino acid encodes a stop codon and the protein cannot be completely synthesized.

Explanation:

The nonsense mutation consists of a change in one of the bases of the stranded DNA, which is transcribed into an altered mRNA, producing a stop codon, instead of an amino acid.

In the table it is observed that the CCA codon is a stop codon that cuts off the protein synthesis prematurely, leaving it incomplete and probably non-functional.

Sometimes this type of mutation can alter the sequence of amino acids but the protein may be complete enough to partially fulfill its function.

What is the main difference bwtween prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells​
Ymorist [56]

Prokaryotic Cells = do not have a nucleus; generally smaller and simpler that Eukaryotic cells.

-Smaller

-does NOT have a Nucleus

-translates to ‘no Nucleus’ OR  ‘no true Nucleus’

-simpler

-they don't have all of their genetic material bound in a nucleus, which is why they are simpler forms of life.

-Prokaryotic cells do have genetic information but it is just stored differently

Ex: Bacteria and Single-Celled organisms

Eukaryotic Cells = Contains a Nucleus and are usually larger and more complex than a Prokaryotic cell

-Bigger

-DOES have a Nucleus

-More Complex

-Specialized to do certain things

Ex: All the Cells in a Human’s body. Skin cells, Red Blood cells
