Textbook Question
Chapter 13.7, Problem 5RIA
Retrieve, Infer, Apply
How many ATP and GTP molecules would be hydrolyzed in the synthesis of a 125 amino acid protein? Explain why this is a good argument for careful regulation of gene expression (especially considering that most proteins are larger than 125 amino acids).

Suppose that a strain of bacteria must synthesize compound 4 to survive and divide. Successful survival and division of bacteria is observed as growth of colonies on an agar plate. This strain of bacteria can grow colonies on minimal medium as long as it is supplemented with compound 1. You are in a lab that has isolated several mutants of this strain.
