  • Key differences between DNA and RNA

    Messenger RNA (mRNA) is a short sequence that corresponds to a gene of interest encoded in the DNA. Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) makes up ribosomes, which read the mRNA sequence and synthesize peptides that are encoded in the mRNA.

  • Amino acids multiple choice questions

    Secondary structure d. Tertiary structure. Insulin is a polypeptide hormone that contains two short polypeptide chains linked by two interstrand disulfide bonds.

  • structure of the original peptide

    81266 structure of the original peptide (See attached file for full problem description) Enzyme-catalyzed hydrolysis of a peptide yields mixtures of smaller peptides.

  • Determine the primary structure of the peptide

    36319 Determine the primary structure of the peptide In trying to deduce a primary structure of an peptide sequence... When does a polypeptide NOT contain a free carboxyl group? Are all peptides linear (or can they have a cyclic C-terminus)?

  • characteristics of the peptide-binding cleft and peptides bound by class I and class II MHC molecules

    The class I molecule represents more of a socket, however, the class II molecule lacks the conserved residues in the class I molecule that bind to the terminal residues of short peptides and thus, forms an open pocket, also referred as an open-ended glove

  • Comparing Internal and External Antigen Presentation Pathways

    Proteins in the cytosol are first degraded by a multi-protein complex known as the proteosome, which cleaves the protein into short peptides of approximately 8-10 amino acids in length.

  • Factors Involved When Genetically Modifying A Mouse

    Protein is synthesized in the cytosolic compartment of the cell, at the ribosomes. Signal peptides are often on the amino terminal end of the protein, so that as the protein is being translated the correct trafficking mechanism is activated.

    SUBSTRATE SPECIFICITY (enzymes only act on certain molecules)
    STEREOSPECIFICITY (see paragraph above)
