Answer:

Luciferin is used, for example, in reporter gene assays to study gene regulation and function where expression of the luciferin-tagged reporter is a marker to indicate successful uptake of the gene of interest in recombinant DNA techniques. Luciferase is a heat-sensitive protein that is used in studies on protein denaturation, testing the protective capacities of heat shock proteins. Luciferase is an enzyme used for bioluminescence by various organisms in nature, most famously the firefly. The scientist produces a construct in which the regulatory region of a target gene is fused with the DNA coding sequence for luciferase

Which statement is FALSE about ATP? (A) Its concentration is maintained in part by adenylate kinase.(B) The concentration of ATP

DENIUS [597]

Answer:

(B) The concentration of ATP in cells is generally much lower than that of AMP.

Explanation:

AMP is 5’-adenylic acid or adenosine monophosphate. It has only one phosphate group attached to the sugar as compared to three phosphate groups of ATP. In general, cells have a much lower concentration of AMP than ATP. ATP is found in much higher concentration in cells than the AMP since ATP serves as energy currency for the cells while AMP is involved in relatively few metabolic pathways.
