The recombinant DNA molecules of this invention are characterized by structural genes that code for at least one polypeptide displaying HBV antigenicity. In appropriate hosts these recombinant DNA molecules permit the production and identification of genes and polypeptides characteristic of HBV antigenicity ...
Human Src kinase (P12931) and caveolin 1 (BAG70098) genes were incorporated into pET28-TevH vector, which contains a His6 tag at the N terminus and a TEV cleavage site for removal of the tag. A restriction-free procedure was used to incorporate the Src kinase gene into pET28-TevH vec...
How many "letters" of an RNA molecule, in sequence, does it take to provide the code for a single amino acid? a) 1 b) 2 c) 3 d) 4 e) 5 What is the approximate size (total bases and number of genes) of the S. cerevisiae genome? Assumin...
"Carry on genes to the next generation" is a reasonable answer, but this is really more an attribute of cells than a function they perform. "Divide into two equal cells" is a defensible reply, too, but this is something cells by definition do at the very ends of their own lives, not...
RNA can act as: a. protein b. both genes and enzymes c. sugar d. mitochondria In eukaryotic cells, genetic information is found in the form of DNA. Is this true for prokaryotic cells? How are prokaryotes and eukaryotes different in terms of the RNA polymerases involved in transcription?
At first sight, it doubles the amino acid alphabet size with which an organism decodes genes to work with both enantiomers. The biological cost/benefits of homochirality, however, depend on where one focuses. From the perspective of building protein structure, different enantiomers are indeed ...
The bioprospecting of sea anemone tissues and secretions has revealed that they are natural libraries of polypeptides with diverse biological activities that can be utilized to develop of biotechnological tools with potential medical and industrial applications. This study conducted a proteomic analysis of ...
• Two strands (H strands and L strands) • Each genome takes the information for 37 genes but only 13 of these code for polypeptides, the remainder being the 2 ribosomal subunits and 22 types of transfer RNA. • Characteristics of mtDNA genome • The mtDNA structure is very tight ...
polypeptideswithamolecularmassofapproximately150 kDa,andisconvertedintoanactiveformthatiscomposed of two chains—heavy (100 kDa) and light (50 kDa). The light chain is responsible for the zinc-endoprotease activity, which acts on soluble-N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor (SNA...
Bioinformatic analysis demonstrated that in angiosperms these polypeptides might result from alternative transcription initiation and/or alternative processing of mRNAs of genes encoding well-known HKs. Besides, the genome of the moss Physcomitrella patens contains much more genes that could code for ...
