Concept explainers
(a) Interpretation:
Explain why the recombinant plasmid is treated with EcoRI to determine its size.
Concept introduction:
Plasmids are circular and small double stranded DNA and is different from the DNA of the cell's chromosome. Plasmids are naturally found in bacterial calls and some Eukaryotes. They act as a tool for the purpose of cloning, transfer and gene manipulation. Plasmids used for experimental purposes are termed as vectors. The genes or DNA fragments can be inserted into the plasmid vector which thus forms recombinant plasmid.
(b) Interpretation:
The discrepancy between the size of the recombinant molecule and the sum of the size of the HindIII cleavage fragments should be explained.

(c) Interpretation:
The diagram of the recombinant showing the locations of the HindIII cleavage sites should be drawn.

- Biochemistry Question. Please help solve. Thank you! Based upon knowledge of oxidation of bioorganic compounds and howmuch energy is released during their oxidation, rank the following, from most to least, with respect to how much energy would be produced from each during their oxidation. Explain your placement for each one.arrow_forwardBiochemistry Question.For the metabolism of amino acids what is the first step for theirbreakdown? Why is it necessary for this breakdown product to be transported to the liver? For the catabolism of the carbon backbone of these amino acids, there are 7 entry points into the “standard” metabolic pathways. List these 7 entry points and which amino acids are metabolized to these entry points. Please help. Thank you!arrow_forwardBiochemistry Question. Please help. Thank you. You are studying pyruvate utilization in mammals for ATP production under aerobic conditions and have synthesized pyruvate with Carbon #1 labelled with radioactive C14. After only one complete cycle of the TCA cycle, which of the TCA cycle intermediates would be labeled with C14? Explain your answer. Interestingly, you find C14 being excreted in the urine. How does it get there?arrow_forward
