Homework Answers
Attaching a label to gene is called gene tagging. This is done to highlight that specific gene, or searching or isolation of any particular gene. The agent used for tagging are removable.
Tagging a specific protien is done to track activities, functions, and interaction of that protien. Tagging can also used in process of purification.
Most common approach is used for tagging is by using recombinant DNA to express a protien tag. A gene which has affinity for protien is used. Antibodies or fluroscent tags are also used. Fusion of some fluroscent tag with protien enable for protien visualisation in in-vivo system.
Polyhistidine, Glutathione S-transferase, maltose binding protiens are commonaly used for tagging.

Fluorescent Protein Gene Fusia for Subcellular Localization Imaging 5. (2 pts) You are studying the human alpha tubulin protein (which is a part of microtubules). You fuse the protein to a GFP in order to observe it. a.

What percent of total kcals came from protein? Are you within recommendations (AMDRs) for protein? Why is adequate protein necessary for the body (think functions of protein)? What are the consequences of a diet too low in protein? What are the consequences of a diet too high in protein? Why is it important to consider saturated fat grams when choosing sources of protein? How can you decrease fat and retain protein grams? How does your intake compare to your recommendation?...

*Biochemistry Lab Question 1. Chromatography columns have a limited protein binding capacity (Consider not overloading the column) Yet you may have noticed that the Wash fraction fluoresced slightly. If you see a band in the Western Blot Wash lane, what does this data say about the physical protein structure of rGFP in that lane? Give a possible MW for this band. 2. (4pts) If overloaded the Ni+2 Agarose column with a crude extract sample that contained too much rGFP, would...

You are assigned to purify a protein from an E.coli cell lysate. The following information is provided to you about the target protein. The protein has an N-terminal 6X histidine tag (His-tag) attached to it The protein is very stable in PBS (Phosphate Buffered Saline) buffer that you need to use as the storage buffer after purification It is an enzyme that will be used as a potential drug. You have the amino acid sequence of the protein. Based on...

what does the concept of "core competence" mean? why is this concept important? How would you determine if the information an organization "claims" as its core competence actually matches what they achieve? Provide an example where there is a match between core competence and organizational achievement. Discuss where you you obtain the information used to "test" the organization's ability to deliver on its core competence.
