Calculate how many triplet codons would be possible had evolution seized on six bases (three complementary base pairs) rather than four bases with which to construct DNA. Would six bases accommodate a two-letter code, assuming 20 amino acids and start and stop codons?
For you, what is the contribution around 18-1900 of golden era in biochemistry? Explain.
You are a molecular biologist studying a defective human protein that is known to be a cause of a rare cancer. You isolate the suspected protein from a person with this cancer and compare it to the same protein in a person without the cancer. You discover that the protein isolated from the cancer patient is slightly smaller in size when compared to the protein from the unaffected patient. Furthermore, you discover that the protein from the cancer patient differs in almost every amino acid starting after the 23rd amino acid. What is the likely explanation?
You are trying to produce a mammalian protein in the bacterium Escherichia coli. To make sure you achieve the goal, what should be taken into consideration when you design the experiment?
