In constructing an oligonucleotide probe based on information from a protein’s sequence, one often chooses (if possible) regions of a sequence containing tryptophan or methionine residues.Why? a. The synthesis of most proteins starts with methionineor a derivative there of, so a methionine codon assures one willstart at the beginning of […]

Suppose that an enzyme uses a catalytic mechanism in which a functional group on the enzyme has to accept a proton from the intermediate formed in the first chemical step. The pKa of that basic functional group on the enzyme is 8.0, and is the only pKa apparent on a […]

In corn, the genes for tassel length (alleles T and t) and rust resistance (alleles R and r) are known to be on separate chromosomes. In the course of making routine crosses, a breeder noticed that one T / T ; R / r plant gave unusual results in a […]
