(a)

Summary Introduction

To explain: The result that when puromycin is added to a cell-free system containing all the necessary machinery for protein synthesis, incomplete polypeptide chains are released from the ribosomes.

Introduction: Puromycin is an antibiotic obtained from Streptomyces alboniger. This is primarily involved in the inhibition of protein synthesis. It is an inhibitor of translation in both the cells of prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The polypeptide chain end to which the puromycin will be attached.

Introduction: Puromycin is an antibiotic obtained from Streptomyces alboniger. This is primarily involved in the inhibition of protein synthesis. It is an inhibitor of translation in both the cells of prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms.

(c)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The puromycin will bind to A or P site on the ribosome or to both..

Introduction: Puromycin is an antibiotic obtained from Streptomyces alboniger. This is primarily involved in the inhibition of protein synthesis. It is an inhibitor of translation in both the cells of prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms.

(d)

Summary Introduction

To explain: If puromycin is a better inhibitor of protein synthesis in eukaryotes or bacteria.

Introduction: Puromycin is an antibiotic obtained from Streptomyces alboniger. This is primarily involved in the inhibition of protein synthesis. It is an inhibitor of translation in both the cells of prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms.

Central Dogma of Molecular Biology from DNA to RNA to Protein, discussing the principles underlying the transfer of information in a biologic system and its regulation. However, recent research seems to challenge certain aspects of Crick’s Central Dogma. Does the Central Dogma still stand today? If not, can you find an example for a type of information transfer that is not explicitly covered by the Central Dogma (or even violates it)?
