Answer:

CRISPR Used To Edit Genes Inside A Patient With A Rare Form Of Blindness

and what CRISPR is is s a family of DNA sequences found in the genomes of prokaryotic organisms such as bacteria and archaea.[2] These sequences are derived from DNA fragments of bacteriophages that had previously infected the prokaryote. They are used to detect and destroy DNA from similar bacteriophages during subsequent infections. Hence these sequences play a key role in the antiviral (i.e. anti-phage) defense system of prokaryotes.[2]

Diagram of the CRISPR prokaryotic antiviral defense mechanism[3]

The CRISPR-Cas system is a prokaryotic immune system that confers resistance to foreign genetic elements such as those present within plasmids and phages[4][5][6] and provides a form of acquired immunity. RNA harboring the spacer sequence helps Cas (CRISPR-associated) proteins recognize and cut foreign pathogenic DNA. Other RNA-guided Cas proteins cut foreign RNA.[7] CRISPR are found in approximately 50% of sequenced bacterial genomes and nearly 90% of sequenced archaea.

What is the difference between the IDENTITY of the protein and the CONCENTRATION of the protein? For this lab, what is the ident
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

The identity of a protein has relation with its amino acid sequence. This sequence is determined by the nucleotide sequence of the DNA of the gene transcribed to RNA and translated into amino acids. Protein identity determines its structure and function. The concentration of a protein refers to the percentage of protein that exists in a given solution. One way to quantify the concentration is with a spectrophotometer calculating the absorbance of the protein.
