Taita thrush is an endangered bird endemic to Kenya. Galbusera and colleagues genotyped Taita thrush individuals from three populations at microsatellite markers. You have a museum specimen, and you want to determine which population it most likely to came from. You determine that the museum specimen is homozygous for two microsatellite alleles (A₁ and B₁). The frequencies of each allele in each population are shown in the table below. Population Chawia Mbololo Allele A₁ 0.6471 0.7063 0.6204 Allele B₁ 0.2917 0.1863 0.4000 Ngangao What is the probability that your individual comes from each of the three populations?

The following table shows experimental results of the glucose transport rate, mM/sec, following facilitated diffusion by glucose carrier proteins. (Recall: the starting conc. L represents glucose added to one side of the membrane; distilled water, omM of glucose was added to the other side of the membrane). The rate of glucose transport was 0.0031 mm/sec with 8mM of glucose (run number 4, highlighted); the rate decreased to 0.0017 mM/sec with 10mM of glucose (run 5, highlighted). Why was the rate of glucose transport slower when the concentration gradient was increased?

The folding and unfolding rate constants for a myoglobin mutant have been determined. The unfolding rate constant ke-u = 3.62 x 10-55 and the folding rate constant ku-p = 255 s1, where Fis the folded protein and U is the unfolded (denatured) protein. For wild-type myoglobin, AG;u = +37.4 kJ/mol. Which myoglobin is more thermodynamically stable, the mutant or the wild-type?

A research group discovers a new version of happyase, which they call happyase*, that catalyzes the chemical reaction: HAPPY-SAD The researchers begin to characterize the enzyme. The researchers determined the kcat of the enzyme to be 452 s-1. In a separate experiment with [E;) at 1.5 nM and [HAPPY) at 38 µM, the researchers find that Vo is equal to 320 nM s-1. What is the measured Km of happyase* for its substrate HAPPY? Make sure to include units in the answer.
Identify the incorrect statement regarding the polypeptide, Myoglobin. Select one: a. The interaction between Myoglobin and O2 is homotopic in nature as indicated by a Hill coefficient n = : 1 b. Myoglobin is found predominantly in muscle tissue because it facilitates oxygen diffusion. c. The majority of Myoglobin's secondary structure is composed of alpha-helices d. Myoglobin has a higher affinity for oxygen than Hemoglobin e. Myoglobin serves as an oxygen storage protein as suggested by its hyperbolic binding of 02
Intestinal epithelial cells pump glucose into the cell against its concentration gradient using the Na*-glucose symporter. Recall that the Na+ concentration is significantly higher outside the cell than inside the cell. The symporter couples the "downhill" transport of two Na+ ions into the cell to the "uphill" transport of glucose into the cell. If the Na+ concentration outside the cell ([Na* lout) is 147 mM and that inside the cell ([Na+]in) is 17.0 mM, and the cell potential is -54.0 mV (inside negative), calculate the maximum energy available for pumping a mole of glucose into the cell. Assume the temperature is 37 °C. AG gluc kJ mol What is the maximum ratio of [glucose]in to [glucose] out that could theoretically be produced if the energy coupling were 100% efficient? 1.13 2.3 × 10-4 8.36 4300
