You are studying the tryptophan synthetase gene that Yanofsky also examined to determine the relationship between the nucleotide sequence and the amino acid sequence of the gene. Yanofsky found a large number of mutations that affected the tryptophan synthetase gene. A) If you took this mutant E. Coli line (that has an Arginine at this location) and exposed it to a mutagen that could potentially change bases, what are the second mutations you would most likely discover that would restore the activity of the tryptophan synthetase gene and where would it be located? B) Most of the mutations that Yanofsky recovered were missense mutations. However, Yanofsky also recovered a nonsense mutation that changed amino acid number 15 into a stop codon. This codon normally encodes Lysine. Does the recovery of this mutation support the hypothesis that this Lysine residue is critical in the function of the tryptophan synthetase protein?

A peptide with 12 amino acids has the composition (not sequence) Asp 2Cys 2Glu 2Leu 2Ser 2Tyr Val. It also has Ser as the N-terminal residue and Cys as C-terminal. Partial acid hydrolysis gave these peptide sequences: (a) SerLeuTyr (b) TyrCys (c) LeuTyrGlu (d) GluLeuGlu (e) SerValCys (f) CysSerVal (g) GluAspTyr . What is the peptide sequence?
A particular protein has the amino acid sequenceN . . . Ala-Pro-His-Trp-Arg-Lys-Gly-Val-Thr . . . Cwithin its primary structure. A geneticist studyingmutations affecting this protein discovered that several of the mutants produced shortened protein molecules that terminated within this region. In one ofthem, the His became the terminal amino acid.a. What DNA single-base change(s) would cause theprotein to terminate at the His residue?b. What other potential sites do you see in the DNAsequence encoding this protein where mutation ofa single base pair would cause premature termination of translation?
It is estimated that the most common amino acid in a protein is leucine. What is the relative leucine frequency (in %) in the E. coli protein: NP_417192.1 (protein length: 750 aa)? (type only the numeric value two digits after decimal)
Given the fragment Ala-Lys-Tyr-Gly-Phe and Leu-Val-Ser-His-Cys-Arg, what is the expected result in both fragments with CuSO4 and NaOH? a. dark violet solution b. light violet solution c. blue solution d. colorless solution
Red blood cells are normally circular in shape. Sickle cell anemia is a disorder that affects the shapes red blood cells causing them to be sickleshaped (like a crescent moon). Beta hemoglobin normally consists of a chain of 147 amino acids (441 base pairs of DNA). In patients with sickle cell anemia, the beta hemoglobin still has 147 amino acids, yet one amino acid is different. The table below shows a section of the amino acid sequence : Based on the data provided of amino acid sequences and the shape difference between normal red blood cells and those with the sickle cell mutation , which of the following interpretations of data best explains these differences?
. Geneticists interested in human hemoglobins havefound a very large number of mutant forms. Some ofthese mutant proteins are of normal size (but haveamino acid substitutions) while others are short, dueto deletions or nonsense mutations. The first extralong example was named Hb Constant Spring, inwhich the β-globin has all of its normal amino acidsplus several extra amino acids attached after thenormal C-terminal end of the protein. a. What is the most plausible explanation forits origin?b. Is it possible that Hb Constant Spring arose fromfailure to splice out an intron?c. Estimate how many extra amino acids mightbe added to the C terminal end of the mutantprotein
Met-enkephalin (Tyr–Gly–Gly–Phe–Met) is a painkiller and sedative (Section 21.5). What is a possible nucleotide sequence in the template strand of the gene that codes for met-enkephalin, assuming that every base of the gene is transcribed and then translated?

Oxytocin, a hormone peptide of nine amino acids, is widely used in obstetrics to induce uterine contractions. There is an intramolecular disulfide bond which must be reduced before sequencing. Reduced oxytocin has the composition Asn 2Cys Gln Gly Ile Leu Pro Tyr . Partial hydrolysis of reduced oxytocin led to the following fragments: (a) AsnCys (b) CysTyr (c) TyrIleGln (d) CysProLeu (e) IleGln (f) LeuGly (g) GlnAsnCys . Reaction of reduced oxytocin with carboxypeptidase showed glycine as the first liberated amino acid. What is the amino acid sequence of oxytocin?
