Chapter 2, Problem 60FB
Summary Introduction
To review:
The given blank space in the statement, “In contrast to the eukaryotic cell, the prokaryotic cell is characterized by the lack of a____________________________.”
Introduction:
The cell is the basic, structural, and fundamental unit of life. It contains all the molecules required for a living organism. Cells can be very small and large in size. Cells are called dead when they are no longer functional.

Poly-L-leucine in an organic solvent such as dioxane is a helical, whereas poly-L-isoleucine is not.
Why do these amino acids with the same number and kinds of atoms have different helix-forming tendencies?
L-isoleucine's methyl group sterically interferes with α-helix formation, whereas L-leucine's methyl group does
not interfere.
L-isoleucine lacks an NH group that can donate a hydrogen bond to stabilize an a helix, whereas L-leucine has an
NH group.
L-isoleucine contains a hydrogen-bond acceptor in close proximity to the main chain, whereas L-leucine lacks
this group.
L-isoleucine's ring structure prevents it from assuming the op value to fit into an a helix, whereas L-isoleucine does
not have a ring structure.

- A protein biochemist attempted to determine the amino acid sequence of a decapeptide. The results from the trypsin, chymotrypsin, and cyanogen bromide treatments are shown: • Trypsin digestion gave two fragments with multiple residues (not in order): T1: Ala, Arg, Phe, Gly, Thr, Trp, Tyr • T2: Lys, Met, Val ⚫ Chymotrypsin digestion gave four fragments with multiple residues (not in order): • CT1: Ala, Phe ° • CT2: Thr, Trp 。 CT3: Lys, Met, Tyr, Val • CT4: Arg, Gly ⚫ Treatment with cyanogen bromide yielded a single amino acid, methionine, and a nonapeptide.

These cells were then transferred to a medium with the "light" isotope of nitrogen, 14N. The results of the experiment supported the hypothesis of semiconservative replication, which was proposed by Watson and Crick. Heavy DNA (15N DNA), hybrid DNA, and light DNA (14N DNA) can be separated by centrifugation. If cells containing 15N DNA are transferred to a medium with only 14NH4Cl as a nitrogen source, what percentage of daughter molecules are composed of hybrid DNA after 3 generations? daughter molecules composed of hybrid DNA: Predict what percentage of daughter molecules would be composed of hybrid DNA if DNA exhibited conservative replication (i.e., if a daughter DNA molecule were composed of only newly synthesized DNA). daughter molecules composed of hybrid DNA: % %arrow_forwardWhich of these amino acids have R groups that have hydrogen-bonding potential?

- Select the true statements about SDS-PAGE, a method of separating proteins. Assume that SDS-PAGE is performed under reducing conditions. Proteins are visualized using a dye that binds to the gel matrix, but not to proteins. Protein-SDS complexes have similar mass to charge ratios; therefore, separation is by size. Proteins are separated in a polyacrylamide gel matrix. Protein-SDS complexes migrate toward the negative electrode. Smaller proteins migrate faster through the polyacrylamide gel. Sodium dodecyl sulfate binds proteins, resulting in SDS-protein complexes that are similar in size.arrow_forwardClassify each feature as charactistic of DNA polymerase or RNA polymerase.
