E coli genome database has included ~1000 and over 1300 metabolic reactions. Why the number of reaction is higher than the number of enzymes?
Homework Answers
Because one enzyme can perform more than one metabolic reaction so no. of enzymes is less and metabolic reaction no. is more.

Metabolic Pathway Engineering Problem Set 5 Engineering a Fermentation System: Fermentation of plant matter to produce ethanol for fuel is one potential method for reducing the use of fossil fuels and thus the CO2 emissions that lead to global warming. Many microorganisms can break down cellulose then ferment the glucose to ethanol. However, many potential cellulose sources, including agricultural residues and switchgrass, also contain substantial amounts of arabinose, which is not as easily fermented. Escherichia coli is capable of fermenting...

Choose the true statement about housekeeping genes in Escherichia coli. Housekeeping genes are constitutively expressed. A housekeeping gene's expression should stop when the cell is placed in a different environment. Most of E. coli's genome encodes housekeeping genes. Examples of housekeeping genes in E. coli include antibiotic resistance genes and lactose catabolism genes. Choose the frameshift mutation that is the riskiest for a prokaryotic cell. A deletion of three DNA nucleotides from the DNA template strand A deletion of one...

Telomere Length Estimation Objective To estimate the length of telomeres on your extracted gDNA. Background Telomeres are repetitive nucleotide elements at the ends of chromosomes that protect chromosomes from degradation and genetic information loss. Normal diploid cells lose telomeres with each cell cycle. Telomere length, therefore, decreases over time and may predict lifespan. Telomere shortening has negative effects on health conditions and has been linked to many health issues including aging and cancer. Accurate and consistent quantification of telomere length...

2. A dominant allele H reduces the number of body bristles that Drosophila flies have, giving rise to a “hairless” phenotype. In the homozygous condition, H is lethal. An independently assorting dominant allele S has no effect on bristle number except in the presence of H, in which case a single dose of S suppresses the hairless phenotype, thus restoring the "hairy" phenotype. However, S also is lethal in the homozygous (S/S) condition. What ratio of hairy to hairless flies...
