CENTRAL DOGMA & STRUCTURE-FUNCTION RELATIONSHIPS IN PROTEINS You are a bacteriologist studying a pathogenic protein (the "BAD" protein) that contributes to diseases caused by Staphylococcus aureus. BAD functions as an aß 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 → AGA point mutation in the a subunit gene (B) introduce GAC → GAG point mutation in the ß subunit gene (C) introduce GAT → CGT point mutation in the B subunit gene (D) introduce two point mutations: AAG → GTG in the a subunit gene & GÁC → CTC in the B subunit gene (E) introduce two point mutations: AAA → TGC in the a subunit gene & GAT → TGT in the B subunit gene

CENTRAL DOGMA & STRUCTURE-FUNCTION RELATIONSHIPS IN PROTEINS You are a bacteriologist studying a pathogenic protein (the "BAD" protein) that contributes to diseases caused by Staphylococcus aureus. BAD functions as an aß heterodimer, and the a subunit (25kD) and ß 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.
