To review:
Whether something different is learned by researchers by using the method of cell fractionation, which is used to determine, the path of tagged protein.
Introduction:
Cell fractionation is the method, by which cells are fractured or opened so that protein expression of the cellular components can be determined. The cells, which are infected by a fluorescently labeled virus, are first subjected to homogenization so that the cellular components like mitochondria, nucleus, and endoplasmic reticulum come inside the homogenization mixture.
The homogenized mixture is then checked for the expression of proteins at different times. The green fluorescent protein (GFP) is also used to check for the presence of different proteins in the cellular components.

- For each of the following ( A & B ) provide the method of transfer and a brief explanation as to why the method would not take place under the conditions described . 1. Which method of DNA transfer between bacteria would not take place if the donor and recipient were separated by a filter with a pore size of 0.45 um or another physical barrier 2. Which method of transfer would be blocked by the presence of high concentrations of DNAase ( enzymes capable of degrading DNA ) ?arrow_forwardGive Detailed Solution with explanation (no need Handwritten)arrow_forwardCan you please pick the right answer in each parentheses? The spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 is a carbohydrate-modified protein that ["bind the RNA genome of the virus", "", "is on the surface of the viral particle", ""] and plays a role in both ["replication of the viral genome", "recognition of host cell"] and ["packaging of viral genome for export", "fusion of viral envelope with host cell plasma membrane"] . Importantly, earlier work on spike proteins from other corona viruses showed that this molecule ["remarkable resistance to immune response", "shows remarkable conformational changes"] and only one of these served as a good antigen for vaccine development. A critical discovery in advancing the development of our current vaccines was determining what changes in the amino acid sequence would ["block degradation of the spike protein", "stabilize the conformation of the protein found on the viral particle"]. This…arrow_forward
