ANALYSIS
1. A viral genome is composed of a double stranded DNA molecule containing 14% T (thymine). Based on this information, what would be the percentage of cytosine?
Susceptibility to spoilage is affected by water content of the food. Why? please explain very detail
This structure indicated a peptide bond between alanine and threonine.
Using a pen, draw a “trans” and a “cis” peptide bond with the peptide bond lying in the plane of the paper. Draw a second view of each peptide bonds now looking down/along the peptide bond (i.e. one atom of the peptide bond will be in front and will obscure the second one behind it). Using a circular arrow, demonstrate how the torsion angle can be directly “read” from the picture. You can do this with an accuracy of ~10°. Provide an explanatory caption.

- A hi Experts...please help me, i need it until 6:30 pm. Hope you can answer it BEFORE the time thank you soo much! KINDLY MAKE THE ANSWER SHORT FOR 2-3 SENTENCES IF POSSIBLE. ---Explain the effect of heat and time on foaming characteristics of proteinarrow_forwardPick all that are TRUE regarding analysis of quaternary structures of proteins using polyacrylamide electrophoresis:I. The added β-mercaptoethanol disrupts S--S bonds bridging the polypeptide chains causing the appearance of higher Rf bands compared to the native protein run. II. Heating up any protein before subjecting to SDS-PAGE will always result in the formation of more than one band.III. A good asymmetrical gel layout would be : (Lane 1) MW ladder, (2) native protein, (3) protein + β-ME, (4) protein + HCL, (5) protein + β-ME + HCl.IV. Formation of a single band in the protein + β-ME + HCl run, whose Rf is lower than the native run, could be indicative that the protein is a homodimer.A. I onlyB. I and IIC. II and IIVD. None is true.pls explainarrow_forwardYou're an undercover biological weapons agent who has been given an unknown liquid - you suspect that it is just sugar water (because you drank some by accident - you know you're not supposed to have food or drink in the lab, but you do it all the time, and it tasted sweet - plus you didn't die!) One of the tests you need to run is to see if it contains protein (remember, foreign proteins can cause severe immune responses which can be a powerful biological weapon). You set up 3 test tubes each with 10mL of the following: distilled water, gelatin solution and the unknown. The distilled water is clear, the gelatin solution is clear with a beige tint, and the unknown is clear. You use Biuret's Reagent - a dark blue dye which will turn a liquid sample purple in the presence of protein. 1. When Biuret's Reagen is added to the unknown, predict what color you expect it to become if the unknown is just sugar water: [a] (no change | blue | purple). 2.You included both a positive and negative…arrow_forward
