Concept explainers
A1.
To explain: How troponin molecules are positioned in every seventh actin molecules.
Introduction: The actin filament is made up of G-actin and polar in structure. It plays an important role in the structural framework that determines the shape of the cell. Hydrolysis of ATP and various actin-binding proteins control the assembly and disassembly of actin molecules in the actin filament.
A2.
To explain: The information about the binding of troponin to actin molecule shown by their regular arrangement in actin filament. Thus, troponin molecules are positioned in every seventh actin molecules.
Introduction: The actin filament is made up of G-actin and polar in structure. It plays an important role in the structural framework that determines the shape of the cell. Hydrolysis of ATP and various actin-binding proteins control the assembly and disassembly of actin molecules in the actin filament.
B. (i)
To explain: The results when actin filaments are mixed with troponin alone.
Introduction: The actin filament is made up of G-actin and polar in structure. It plays an important role in the structural framework that determines the shape of the cell. Hydrolysis of ATP and various actin-binding proteins control the assembly and disassembly of actin molecules in the actin filament.
B. (ii)
To explain: The results when actin filaments are mixed with tropomyosin alone.
Introduction: The actin filament is made up of G-actin and polar in structure. It plays an important role in the structural framework that determines the shape of the cell. Hydrolysis of ATP and various actin-binding proteins control the assembly and disassembly of actin molecules in the actin filament.
B. (iii) 1
To explain: The results when actin filaments are mixed with troponin plus tropomyosin and then added myosin.
Introduction: The actin filament is made up of G-actin and polar in structure. It plays an important role in the structural framework that determines the shape of the cell. Hydrolysis of ATP and various actin-binding proteins control the assembly and disassembly of actin molecules in the actin filament.
B. (iii) 2
To determine: Which effects are dependent on Ca2+ ions.
Introduction: The actin filament is made up of G-actin and polar in structure. It plays an important role in the structural framework that determines the shape of the cell. Hydrolysis of ATP and various actin-binding proteins control the assembly and disassembly of actin molecules in the actin filament.

- Molecular Biology Question You are working to characterize a novel protein in mice. Analysis shows that high levels of the primary transcript that codes for this protein are found in tissue from the brain, muscle, liver, and pancreas. However, an antibody that recognizes the C-terminal portion of the protein indicates that the protein is present in brain, muscle, and liver, but not in the pancreas. What is the most likely explanation for this result?arrow_forwardMolecular Biology Explain/discuss how “slow stop” and “quick/fast stop” mutants wereused to identify different protein involved in DNA replication in E. coli.arrow_forwardMolecular Biology Question A gene that codes for a protein was removed from a eukaryotic cell and inserted into a prokaryotic cell. Although the gene was successfully transcribed and translated, it produced a different protein than it produced in the eukaryotic cell. What is the most likely explanation?arrow_forward
