Comp 7/ Bio 40 Project: Reliability of Metagenomics Reads Background In this class, we are studying 16S rRNA metagenomic sequencing, in which the sequences read come from one of the hypervariable regions of the 16S rRNA genes, which are generally well conserved across prokaryotes. Because of the variability in the […]

If a lipid raft is typically 70 nm in diameter and each lipid molecule has a diameter of 0.5 nm, about how many lipid molecules would there be in a lipid raft composed entirely of lipid? At a ratio of 50 lipid molecules per protein molecule (50% protein by mass), […]

Annotated Bibliography Pick a type of cancer to research. Find articles that answer questions concerning your chosen type of cancer. This assignment will help you to organize the sources you will use in the Unit V Research Paper. An annotated bibliography consists of two parts: the reference citation in APA […]

Q. Consider a transmembrane protein complex that forms a hydrophilic pore across the plasma membrane of a eukaryotic cell. The pore is made of five similar protein subunits, each of which contributes a membrane-spanning alpha-helix to form the pore. Each alpha helix has hydrophilic amino acid side chains on one […]
