Chapter 20, Problem 11SA
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The virulence factors in Gram negative bacteria which allow them to cause diseases.
Introduction:
Gram negative bacteria are the pathogens causing majority of diseases in humans. They can sustain life at 37℃ and can escape the immunity defenses of the host body. They have an outer membrane containing lipooligosaccharides, composed of Lipid A and polysaccharides, which helps them to infect host cell and also provide antigenic properties. These bacteria have certain virulence factors such as capsules, fimbriae, exotoxins, iron binding compounds, haemolysin and a type III secretion system.

8. Transcription and Translation Practice: (Video 10-1 and 10-2)
A. Below is the sense strand of a DNA gene. Using the sense strand, create the antisense
DNA strand and label the 5' and 3' ends.
B. Use the antisense strand that you create in part A as a template to create the mRNA
transcript of the gene and label the 5' and 3' ends.
C. Translate the mRNA you produced in part B into the polypeptide sequence making sure
to follow all the rules of translation.

- Molecular Biology Question You are working to characterize a novel protein in mice.
