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).

Increasing the saturation of the ammonium sulfate is a prerequisite in isolating a target protein that is rich in Cys and Tyr residues. Which of the following techniques should be considered in accurately quantifying the isolated protein?I. Running the isolated protein in a dialysis or GFC set up.II. Using Biuret or BCA assay as the colorimetric quantitation method.III. Using Bradford or Lowry assay as the colorimetric quantitation method.A. I onlyB. II onlyC. I and IIID. I, II and III. Bradford Assay is most suitable to use when the extraction buffer is below the target protein’s pI. This is so because the protein would be morea. Positively charged allowing the CBB G-250 dye to bind via its sulfonate groups.b. Negatively charged allowing the CBB G-250 dye to bind via its sulfonate groups.c. Neutrally charged allowing the CBB G-250 dye to bind via its sulfonate groups.d. Zwitterionic allowing the CBB G-250 dye to bind via its sulfonate groups.

Under most in vitro assay conditions, the enzyme is used in catalytic amounts
(10 to 10" M). Estimate the concentration of an enzyme in a living
cell. Assume that (a) fresh tissue is 80% water and all of it is intracellular, (b)
the total soluble protein in a cell represents 15% of the wet weight, (c) all the
soluble proteins are enzymes, (d) the average molecular weight of a protein is
150,000, and (e) about 1000 different enzymes are present.
