3. Gliadin peptides can be classified as "toxic" or "immunogenic" depending on how they induce intestinal damage. The 13-residue toxic peptide was found in a type of alpha-gliadin with the sequence: PGQQQPFPPQQPY Convert this amino acid sequence into three-letter code. For example, NYC becomes Arg-Tyr-Cys

5. If a virus has a negative-sense RNA genome, what enzymatic activity (if any) will be found as part of the virion structure and what will be the first step in expression of the viral genome? 6. Influenza viruses gain entry into their host cells by attachment to N-acetylneuraminic acid residues on the cell surface, followed by receptor-mediated endocytosis. Predict what effect the treatments shown in the table below will have on (i) the attachment of an influenza virus to a susceptible host cell, and (ii) the subsequent uncoating of influenza virus in the same cell. Use a “+" to indicate that the event will take place or a “-" to indicate that it will not take place. Note: In each case it is assumed that the events would be occurring in the same cell that has undergone the treatment. Treatment Attachment? Uncoating? Treatment of the host cell with neuraminidase Treatment of the host cell with NH,Cl, which prevents lowering of the lysosomal pH Treatment of the host cell with…
1. "Interferons (IFNs)‐α and ‐β are expressed in response to a virus infection and are released from the cell in which they are produced. IFNs induce an antiviral state in other neighboring cells. a. Which cellular process is inactivated when IFN‐treated cells are infected with a virus? b. One arm of the IFN‐induced antiviral state is the synthesis of 2′,5′‐oligoA in response to viral infection. In one sentence or a simple diagram, what is the effect of this on the cell? c. Another arm of the IFN‐induced antiviral state is activation of the protein kinase in response to viral infection. In one sentence or a simple diagram, what is the effect of this on the cell? d. All cells contain the genes for IFNs. IFN synthesis is stimulated by virus infection. Would you expect a cell that has been treated with IFN to synthesize IFN in response to a viral infection? Explain your answer."

You are a bacteriologist studying a pathogenic protein (the “BAD” protein) that contributes to diseases caused by Staphylococcus aureus. BAD functions as an ab heterodimer, and the a subunit (25kD) and b subunit (75kD) are held together by an electrostatic interaction between K in the a subunit and D in the b subunit. You are trying to dissociate the BAD subunits to prevent pathogenesis in the bacteria. Which mutation would you make to prevent the BAD subunits from forming a dimer? Assume neutral pH. (A) introduce AAA to AGA point mutation in the a subunit gene(B) introduce GAC to GAG point mutation in the b subunit gene(C) introduce GAT to CGT point mutation in the b subunit gene(D) introduce two point mutations: AAG to GTG in the a subunit gene & GAC to CTC in the b subunit gene (E) introduce two point mutations: AAA to TGC in the a subunit gene & GAT to TGT in the b subunit gene
Which question can the student answer using the Punnett square? A What alleles did the father contribute? B What trait does the letter B represent? C How many mutations appear in the offspring? D How many female offspring are homozygous?
A 30 - year - old woman was undergoing therapy for b-thalassemia,a recessive trait caused by absence of or reduced synthesis ofthe hemoglobin b chain, a subunit of the oxygen-carrying moleculein red blood cells. In this condition, red blood cells are rapidlydestroyed, freeing a large amount of iron, which is deposited in tissuesand organs. The blood transfusions the patient had received every twoor three weeks since the age of 7 to stave off anemia were furtheraggravating iron buildup. Her major organs were showing damage, andshe was in danger of death from cardiac disease. Her physician suggestedthat she consider undergoing a hematopoietic (bone marrow)stem cell transplant (HSCT). Since these stem cells give rise to redblood cells, such a transplant could potentially restore her health. Whilethis might seem like an easy decision, it is not. Advanced cases havea high risk (almost 30 percent) for transplantation-related death. At thispoint, the woman is faced with a difficult and…

(a) Answer all sections (i)- (Iv). Below is given the structure of three anti-HIV drugs: OH Meo. OMe NH Ph Nevirapine Atazanavir Staudivine (i) Give the drug target and discuss the anti-HIV mechanism of each of these drugs. Vaccines are an attractive prophylactic treatment against both viral and bacterial diseases. A number of glycaconjugate vaccines using bacterial polysaccharide structures conjugated to protein carriers have been introduced into mass vaccination schemes with excellent results. What differences are there in the immune response to a glycoconjugate vaccine as compared to a polysaccharide vaccine? These glycoconjugate va nes has been used for 30 years without any change in their structures, while the composition of the flu vaccine, based on attenuated or killed virus particies, is changed from year to year. Discuss the reason behind this. (iv) Discuss why it has not been possible to develop a (part structure) vaccine against the HIV virus, based on either I) viral…
