Consider the artificial cell experiment below:
Lactose 2.0 M
Ca+ = 0.4 M
The ion channels in the membrane will allow Ca+ to pass freely,
but nothing else. The starting conditions for the experiment are
shown.
Rewrite the following statement to make it correct:
"The calcium ions will move across the membrane because ion
channels allow active transport."
Lactose = 0.1 M
Ca+ = 3.0 M

Paragraph
:
Shown below is a schematic diagram of the E. coli leader peptidase (Lep), which has several basic amino acids in a cytoplasmic loop. Propose a mutant of Lep that would be a test of the “inside positive” rule for the orientation of proteins in membranes.
In the absence of tension, MscL channel has an energy gap separating the closed and open states Eo = 50 kT. MscL opening is associated with a 20 nm2 in-plane protein expansion (DA). Using Excel plot its open probability (Po) as a function of membrane tension and paste the graph below. What will be the open probabilities of two MscL channels if one situates at the pole of the bacterial cell above, another in the middle?

Both antibiotic types may be used to effectively eliminate an infection. Bacteriostatic antibiotics prevent bacterial growth and require higher dosages to eliminate the infection. Bactericidal antibiotics kill bacterial cells at lower dosages. A common cellular function that is targeted by antibiotics is the process of translation, since the ribosome and other factors involved in translation are different in prokaryotic cells versus eukaryotic cells. Thus, the antibiotic is specific only to bacteria and does not harm the host. Chloramphenicol is an antibiotic that blocks the enzyme, peptidyl transferase. This enzyme is responsible for forming peptide bonds between amino acids during the process of translation. Answer the following questions about chloramphenicol. a.
