Question
Chapter 31, Problem 26P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Experimental strategy for switching off the translation of an mRNA without changing the gene sequence encoding the protein should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Messenger RNA (mRNA) is a type of RNA molecule, which transfers genetic information from DNA to the ribosome. The ribosome then read the mRNA chain and produce protein chain, which is termed as the genetic expression. The conversion of DNA to mRNA is termed as transcription, which occurs in the nucleus of the cell. Whereas, the process of gene expression of mRNA to protein (translation) occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell.

Weiss published their study of membrane lipid phosphatidylcholine (lecithin) synthesis in rat liver. Their hypothesis was that phosphocholine joined with some cellular component to yield lecithin. In an earlier experiment, incubating 32 P-labeled phosphocholine at physiological temperature (37 °C) with broken cells from rat liver yielded labeled lecithin. This became their assay for the enzymes involved in lecithin synthesis. Determine the optimal pH for this enzyme and characterize the enzyme activity at different pH values. -O-P-O-CH2-CH₁₂-N(CH3)3 Phosphocholine H₂C-O-C-R HC-O-C-R2 + + + Cell fraction + ?

- Researchers isolated an unknown substance, X, from rabbit muscle. They determined its structure from the following observations and experiments. (a) Qualitative analysis showed that X was composed entirely of C, H, and O. A weighed sample of X was completely oxidized and the H2O and CO2 produced were measured. This quantitative analysis revealed that X contained 40.00% C, 6.71% H, and 53.29% O by weight. (b) The molecular mass of X, as determined by mass spectrometry, was 90.00 atomic mass units (u). (c) Infrared spectroscopy showed that X contained one double bond. (d) X dissolved readily in water, and the solution demonstrated optical activity when tested in a polarimeter.
