Concept explainers
Interpretation:
Whether one can reach an unambiguous conclusion from the given data should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The molecule which provides cells and whole organisms their shape and the ability to reproduce, develop and move are known as proteins. The procedure to find out the order of protein of amino acids is known as protein sequencing. The sequence of a protein can simply be deduced from its sequence of gene, because the order of the bases on the DNA stand stipulates the order within with amino acid are associated together in translation.
Answer to Problem 1P
No, we cannot reach an unambiguous conclusion.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Partial amino acid sequence of the protein:
…CAATACGAAGCAATCCCGCGACTAGACCTTAAC…
To create any conclusion regarding the cDNA strand we should initially examine the sequence. After changing to its RNA form, we get the below strand.
CAAUACGAAGCAAUCCCGCGACUAGACCUUAAC
Initial thing is to find out the reading frame by looking for the initial codon AUG. There is no start CODON in the sequence.
Now, we look for the stop codons: UGA, UAG or UAA.
CAAUACGAAGCAAUCCCGCGACUAGACCUUAAC
We now could see that there are stop codons for 2 of the 3 probable reading frames. It actually means that preceding codons account for the protein’s C-terminal. The third reading frame could start with CAA and would not have the stop codon in the protein of the DNA sequence which we are given.
More information is required to find out which is the correct reading frame.

- Please do answer all the questions. I'll definitely give a like You discovered a halophilic bacterium and want to characterize the mechanism involved in producing mature tRNA molecules from larger tRNA precursors. You isolated a large complex composed of a protein component and an RNA component that is capable of cleaving the larger tRNA precursor. To determine which one of the two components is responsible for catalysis, you perform an in vitro tRNA cleavage assay in the proper buffer conditions, including a low concentration of Mg2+ and 0.5 M bovine serum albumin (BSA). BSA is not specific for this reaction. The table below summarizes the results after performing eight separate reactions. The + symbol indicates the included reaction components. Q.
