(a)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The results expected if the inside-out vesicles are subjected to the GO/3H-BH4 procedure.

Introduction: Erythrocyte membranes can be used to prepare sealed vesicles. These vesicles are prepared such that their orientation is reverse. This means that the side of the erythrocyte membrane which faced the cytoplasm, face outwards in these vesicles.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The results expected if the inside-out vesicles are subjected to the LP/125I procedure.

Introduction: Erythrocyte membranes can be used to prepare sealed vesicles. These vesicles are prepared such that their orientation is reverse. This means that the side of the erythrocyte membrane which faced the cytoplasm, face outwards in these vesicles.

(c)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The conclusions that can be drawn if some of the proteins that become labeled by the LP/125I method of part (b) were among those that had been labeled when intact cells were treated such that they were incubated with LP in the presence of 125I and the membrane proteins were extracted and analyzed on SDS-polyacrylamide gels.

Introduction: Erythrocyte membranes can be used to prepare sealed vesicles. These vesicles are prepared such that their orientation is reverse. This means that the side of the erythrocyte membrane which faced the cytoplasm, face outwards in these vesicles.

(d)

Summary Introduction

To determine: A method by which a transmembrane protein can be labeled such that it has 3H on one side and 125I on the other side.

Introduction: Erythrocyte membranes can be used to prepare sealed vesicles. These vesicles are prepared such that their orientation is reversed. This means that the side of the erythrocyte membrane which faced the cytoplasm, face outwards in these vesicles.

Question-  Some of the reactions of NO in the blood do not cause problems at low concentrations but can upset the normal reactions of hemoglobin if there is a large concentration of NO. The same reactions can cause trouble if a synthetic blood substitute contains a molecule similar to hemoglobin but does not contain all the other enzymes normally contained in red blood cells. Explain what this problem is and how it arises.
structure of cholesterol, define the three regions of the molecule, know that this molecule regulates membrane fluidity, and distinguish between esterified and unesterifiedcholesterol
