Chapter 4, Problem 2Q
Summary Introduction

To determine: The significance in the arrangement of the given sequence (Leu-Lys-Val-Asp-Ile-Ser-Leu-Arg-Leu-Lys-Ile-Arg-Phe-Glu) when incorporated in beta sheets.

Introduction: Beta sheets are the secondary structure of proteins. There are two types of beta sheets: the parallel and anti-parallel. When two strands of the beta sheets run in similar direction, it is termed as parallel beta strands, whereas when the both strands run in reverse direction, it is termed as anti-parallel beta sheets. In the anti-parallel sheets, amino terminal of one amino acid forms bond with the carboxyl terminal of the nearby strand, and carboxyl terminal of the same amino acid forms bond with the amino terminal of the other nearby strand. Whereas in the parallel sheet, the amino terminal of amino acid in one strand forms a bond with the amino terminal of the nearby strand and the carboxyl end forms hydrogen with the carboxyl end of the nearby strand.

Summary Introduction

To predict: The arrangement of beta sheets in a protein.

Introduction: Beta sheets are the secondary structure of proteins. There are two types of beta sheets; the parallel and anti-parallel.

If using animals in medical experiments could save human lives, is it ethical to do so? In your answer, apply at least one ethical theory in support of your position.
You aim to test the hypothesis that the Tbx4 and Tbx5 genes inhibit each other's expression during limb development. With access to chicken embryos and viruses capable of overexpressing Tbx4 and Tbx5, describe an experiment to investigate whether these genes suppress each other's expression in the limb buds. What results would you expect if they do repress each other? What results would you expect if they do not repress each other?
You decide to delete Fgf4 and Fgf8 specifically in the limb bud. Explain why you would not knock out these genes in the entire embryo instead.
