Give three reasons why liposomes/nanoparticles are attractive drug delivery system for recombinant protein preparations?
Each intracellular fusion of a vesicle with a membrane requires a SNARE protein on the vesicle (called the v-SNARE) and a SNARE protein on the target membrane (called the t-SNARE). Assume that a genome encodes 21 members of the vSNARE family and 7 members of the t-SNARE family. With the assumption of no specificity, how many potential v-SNARE–t-SNARE interactions could take place?
Describe how an electrophoretic mobility shift assay is used to determine if a protein binds to DNA or RNA.
