Chapter 8.3, Problem 3MQ
Summary Introduction
The virus is an infectious particle which independently exists in an environment. The virus infection of the host cell induces to produce new viral particle to produce the essential components to make new virions. The viral life cycle has an eclipse phase and a maturation phase.

Molecular Biology Question
You are working to characterize a novel protein in mice. Analysis shows that high levels of the primary transcript that codes for this protein are found in tissue from the brain, muscle, liver, and pancreas. However, an antibody that recognizes the C-terminal portion of the protein indicates that the protein is present in brain, muscle, and liver, but not in the pancreas. What is the most likely explanation for this result?
Molecular Biology
Explain/discuss how “slow stop” and “quick/fast stop” mutants wereused to identify different protein involved in DNA replication in E. coli.
