(a)
Interpretation:
Effects on eIF-4 helicase activity in the presence of eIF-4H should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Eukaryotic initiation factors (eIFs) are the proteins, which are used during the initiation of the eukaryotic translation process. The function of these proteins is to stabilize the ribosomal complexes that are near the start codon on the mRNA strand.
(b)
Interpretation:
The importance of measuring the helicase activity of eIF-4H as control should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Eukaryotic initiation factors (eIFs) are the proteins, which are used during the initiation of the eukaryotic translation process. The function of these proteins is to stabilize the ribosomal complexes that are near the start codon on the mRNA strand.
(c)
Interpretation:
The ratio of eIF-4H and eIF-4 should be determined to attain optimal activity.
Concept introduction:
Eukaryotic initiation factors (eIFs) are the proteins, which are used during the initiation of eukaryotic translation process. The function of these proteins is to stabilize the ribosomal complexes that are near the start codon on the mRNA strand.
(d)
Interpretation:
The varying effect f eIF-4H with helix stability should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Eukaryotic initiation factors (eIFs) are the proteins, which are used during the initiation of the eukaryotic translation process. The function of these proteins is to stabilize the ribosomal complexes that are near the start codon on the mRNA strand.
(e)
Interpretation:
The effect of eIF-4H on the helicase activity of eIF-4A should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Eukaryotic initiation factors (eIFs) are the proteins, which are used during the initiation of eukaryotic translation process. The function of these proteins is to stabilize the ribosomal complexes that are near the start codon on the mRNA strand.

- 9) Below, there is a representation of an SDS-PAGE gel. Assuming the samples in the MW standard have masses of: 66 kDa, 45 kDa, 36 kDa, 29 kDa, 24 kDa, 20.1 kDa, and 14.2 kDa, a) Figure 4: indicate where each of the measurements were taken and label as in II.6. figure 2 above. b) As in II.7. Table 1 above create Table 2 using the data below. Determine the r.f. values for the MW standards, plot the relative mobility versus the log of the mass for the standards, and use the best fit straight line to determine the molecular weights of the proteins in the whey, peak 1, and peak 2 lanes.
