Textbook Question
Chapter 31, Problem 7P
Comparing the Mechanisms of Action of EF-Tu/EF-Ts and DnaK/ GrpE (Integrates with Chapter 30.) In what ways are the mechanisms of action of EF-Tu/EF-Ts and Dna K/GrpE similar? What mechanist ic functions do the ribosome A-site and DnaJ have in common?

Finish the translation story: - fully explain the G factor stories for each step – and the antibioticthat inhibits it.o how is the next aa brought into the A site of the ribosome and how is it chosen to be thecorrect one. How does streptomycin impact this?o How does the ribosome connect the growing chain of aa to the next one in the A site?How does chloramphenicol impact this?o How does the ribosome step to the next codon? How does spectinomycin impact this?

With the aid of the figure above showing the important features of the binding of Vancomycin
(lower part) to a bacterial cell wall peptia discuss the antibiotic effect of Vancomycin.
i)
Vancomycin resistant strains often have a mutation in which one of the D-Ala moieties is
exchanged to a D-lactate moiety. Discuss why this mutation makes the strain Vancomycin-
resistant but still viable.
iv)
Glycoconjugate vaccines based on bacterial capsular polysaccharides have been used for 30
years without any need for changes in their structures, while the flu vaccine, based on
attenuated or killed virus particles, requires many different structures and a check each time
when there is an epidemic that the right vaccine is used. Discuss the reason behind this.
Suggest a reasonable strategy for the specific phosphorylation of the5’ –OH group of a nucleoside.

- Which statements are true? Explain why or why not.1 The consequences of errors in transcription areless severe than those of errors in DNA replication.2 Since introns are largely genetic “junk,” they do nothave to be removed precisely from the primary transcriptduring RNA splicing.3 Wobble pairing occurs between the first positionin the codon and the third position in the anticodon.4 During protein synthesis, the thermodynamics ofbase-pairing between tRNAs and mRNAs sets the upperlimit for the accuracy with which protein molecules aremade.5 Protein enzymes are thought to greatly outnum-ber ribozymes in modern cells because they can catalyzea much greater variety of reactions and all of them havefaster rates than any ribozyme.arrow_forwardArticle about RPA-mediated recruitment of Bre1 couples histone H2B ubiquitination to DNA replication and repair.
