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.

- Cadherins are known to mediate homophilic interactions between cells. What is a homophilic interaction, and how can it be demonstrated experimentally for E-cadherins?arrow_forwardCan two-dimensional gel electrophoresis be used as a purificationtechnique? Explain.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_forward
- You are studying the uptake of L-leucine by epithelial cells of the mouse intestine. Measurements of the rates of uptake of L-leucine and severalof its analogs, with and without Na+ in the assay buffer, yield the results given in the table below. What can you conclude about the properties and mechanism of the leucine transporter? Would you expect L-leucine uptake to be inhibited by ouabain?arrow_forwardWhat structural features make glycans good cell-surface markers? What are the main challenges to glycan analysis? (These challenges are related to the reason why glycans are such good candidates for cell surface recognition elements)Briefly describe the research for which Carolyn Bertozzi was awarded the Nobel prize.arrow_forwardTransferring 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_forward
- In the "biochemical assay of b-galactosidase activity", what is o-nitrophenyl-b-D-galactosidase (ONPG) used for? O When ONPG is cleaved by b-galactosidase, we are able to assay b-galactosidase activity. O It provides essential nutrients for bacterial growth. It partially disrupts the cell membrane to allow cellular proteins to diffuse out of the cell. O ONPG cleaves the b-galactosidase that is made by the lac operon so we can see how much activity there is in the cell. ONPG cleaves galactose so we can measure how much lactose there is in the cell.arrow_forwardDo letter 4 and draw a titration curve as directed in letter 4 c) for pka 4.7, labelling all the axes.arrow_forwardHow can biomedical engineer help in solving the problem of covid-19?arrow_forward
- What is molecular pharming? Compared with the production of proteins by bacteria, why might it be advantageous?arrow_forwardI am currently using Molecular imprinted polymer(MIP) to extract oleic acid from Palm Fatty Acid Distillate(PFAD) using Solid Phase Extraction(SPE) method and Batch heating method but both methods fail to extract. In the SPE method,the PFAD mixed with MIP turned into solid as soon I put it into catridge- In Batch heating method, the PFAD mixed with MIP also turned into solid when I put it into the syringe+syringe filter. Is there any possible way to make solid PFAD into liquid PFAD at room temperature? the melting point of PFAD is around 50-53arrow_forwardGenetic testing of a 29-month-old boy shows a mutation in the Phe residue at position 508 in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTCR) gene. Cultured skin fibroblasts from the boy contain an abnormal form of CFTCR protein bound to ubiquitin. Which of the following structures is the most likely site of elimination of these abnormal proteins in this patient? A) Endoplasmic reticulum B) Endosome C) Golgi complex D) Lysosome E) Proteasomearrow_forward
