You have an aqueous solution containing: Alaine (a mono-amino, monocarboxylic acid) Fructose (a non-ionic monosaccharide) Glycogen (a non-ionic large polysaccharide) Ribose-5-phosphate (an anionic monosaccharide phosphate) t-RNA (a polyanionic nucleic acid, MW~ 30,000). Assuming you have a distinctive assay for each of these compounds, what procedures would you use to obtain gram quantities of each of these compounds free of each of the other compounds
Yes or no?
Is sequence of riboprobe identical to the mrna produced by gene in situ hybridization?
does column of purification in DNA allow it to flow while other molecules are trapped ?
Asap, explain well please
