Concept explainers
To describe: The characterstics of CHIP28 that led to the speculation about water transport by Agre and associates.
Introduction: There are various methods of the transportation and the movement of molecules from one region to another region of the cell. It includes various types of transport mechanism like active transport, facilitated transport, endocytosis, passive transport, and so on. Very often more than one transport mechanism is involved in the transport of a solute. Hence, overall rate of the transported solute maybe higher than individual rates of movement of solute.
To describe: The method for the test of hypothesis that CHIP28 has function regarding water transport.

- Consider a polymeric membrane within a 6 cm diameter stirred ultrafiltration cell. The mem- brane is 30 μm thick. The membrane has pores equivalent in size to a spherical molecule with a molecular weight of 100,000, a porosity of 80%, and a tortuosity of 2.5. On the feed side of the membrane, we have a solution containing a protein at a concentration of 8 g L−1 with these properties: a = 3 nm and DAB = 6.0 × 10−7 cm2 s−1. The solution viscosity is 1 cP. The hydrody- namic pressure on the protein side of the membrane is 20 pounds per square inch (psi) higher than on the filtrate side of the membrane. Determine the convective flow rate of the solution across the membrane and the rate at which the protein crosses the membrane. The solution on the feed side of the membrane is being stirred at 900 RPM.arrow_forwardIn Multi-Column Purification of rGFP. What happens to the protein amount, protein purity, and/or specific activity of a purification fraction if one of the three is changed?

- Transferring of the protein bands from the SDS-PAGE gel to the PDVF membrane can be troublesome and sometimes incomplete. What are some reasons (at least 3) why the transfer step wouldn’t work?arrow_forwardAnalyse and interpret the SCAM data in Fig. 1, and make a table (remember to include a legend) to indicate where each amino acid is located (cytoplasm, membrane, periplasm).arrow_forwardHigh salt concentrations tend to cause protein aggregation. Suggest a way to identify proteins normally expressed in particular bacterial species that can retain their solubility despite high salt conditions.arrow_forward
- What is cooperative binding and how can I distinguish positive and negative cooperativity? How does cooperativity amplify the effects of a regulatory molecule?arrow_forwardThere is a group of six or so genes, called luxlux genes, whose gene products are necessary for light formation. Given that these bacterial genes are regulated together, propose a hypothesis for how the genes are organized and regulated. Match the terms in the left column to the appropriate blanks in the sentences on the right. Terms can be used once, more than once, or not at all. Terms: metaboliozed, density, quorum sensing, state, signal amplification, inhibit, activate, detected, secrete, transcrption initiation complex, consume, operon Bacterial cells blank molecules that can be blank by other bacterial cells. Sensing the concentration of such signalling molecules allows bacteria to monitor the local blank of cells, a phenomenon called blank. There is a group of genes in the genome of the described bacterium, called luxgenes, which are organized in an blank. Reaching a certain concentration, molecules involved in this process blank the luxgenes. As a result, the…arrow_forwarda. When a chromophore binds to proteins, the binding site is generally more hydrophobic than the solution. Then, what kind of shift do you expect to observe in the absorption peak position compared to the peak observed when the chromophore is free in solution?arrow_forward
