BioBeyond Unit 6 : Protein and Protein
Technology
what is the best place to start your analysis to see if they are carriers for the genetic disorder
cystic fibrosis ? - ✔✔A DNA sample to study their genomes and their genome sequence.
each protein has a small description; after reading it choose the best category for that protein
from the drop-down menu - ✔✔Hexokinase - Enzyme
Collagen - Structural
Insulin - Signaling
Hemoglobin - Transport
Myosin - Motor
Fibrin Defense
at right, mark the boxes next to the steps and products that you think will be affected - ✔✔Step 1
:
Product 1
Step 2
Product 2
Step 3
Product 3
Step 4
Product 4
what would happen if the protein was damaged ?select all that apply - ✔✔The mucus channels
would stop working
Mucus could not pass through the channels
A build up of mucus would cover in the airway
what health concerns would arise from damage lung tissue ? select all that apply - ✔✔The
patient might die
The patient might have trouble breathing
The patient's cells might not get enough oxygen
Match each level of protein structure with its correct description - ✔✔Primary structure ➡️ A
sequence of amino acids, bound together in a peptide chain
Secondary structure ➡️ Complex structures such as alpha helixes and beta sheets arise
Tertiary structure ➡️ A fully formed and folded polypeptide (protein chain)
Quaternary structure ➡️ Two or more polypeptides bound together to form a protein
What is the main difference between the two proteins ? - ✔✔The shape is different ; one of the
active sites is blocked and that protein won't work well
Match the following bond types with the appropriate description : - ✔✔Polar covalent ➡️
Electrons are unequally shared between 2 atoms, resulting in a partial change
Non-polar covalent ➡️ Electrons are equally shared between two atoms, resulting in no change
Iconic ➡️ Electrons are unequally shared between two atoms, resulting in a partial change
if an amino acid was changed, how could that impact the protein? Select all that apply - ✔✔ALL
OF THE ABOVE
using the data at right, if a mutation caused the alanine in the first position to become a glycine,
would the polarity of the amino acid in that position change ? - ✔✔No because glycine and
alanine have about the same polarity
sort the scenario so that the most functional protein is at the top of the list and the least functional
protein is at the bottom - ✔✔The patient's gene is an exact match to a normal gene
The patient's gene has many mutations with no change in the protein's polarity
The patient's gene has many mutations abs the protein is less polar than normal
The patient's gene is 60% the length if a normal gene
rank the following mutations by the severity of their consequences to the organism. - ✔✔1 :
Nonsense mutation
2: Missense Mutation
3 : silent mutation
when we compare the DNA from the Johnsons to each other or to a standard sequence, would
you expect to see some variation? - ✔✔Yes, i would expect variation between two organisms
since we do expect differences, or mutations, in the DNA, which type of mutation is the least
harmful? - ✔✔Silent
if we analyze the DNA and find mutations that causes the peptide sequence to change, what type
of mutation is present? - ✔✔missense
If we compare the DNA and we saw that there was a change in the length of the DNA sequence,
what type of mutation are we observing? - ✔✔nonsense
What can you conclude about Mr. Johnson's CFTR gene ? - ✔✔it is different from the healthy
gene, but not in a dangerous way
Looking at Mrs. Johnson's CFTR gene vs the healthy copy , what can you conclude - ✔✔It is
different from the healthy gene, but not in a dangerous way
do you remember which human body system fights infections? - ✔✔immune
Which disorder should we test for, since baby Johnson is having issues with her immune system?
- ✔✔Adenosine Deaminase Deficiency
Looking on the image in the right, what do you see - ✔✔has significant differences
describe any differences you see between the two DNA strands - ✔✔this DNA sequence has a
nonsense mutation, resulting in it being much shorter than expected. It's highly unlikely this
protein would function at all.
imagine that the protein folded in a way that block the site; what was the consequences be? -
✔✔The protein would not work and there would be other consequences
would the protein be able to work properly - ✔✔no it will not work at all
explain reasoning - ✔✔since the protein didn't from, it no longer has the active site, therefore,
this protein will not function at all
Why would Disrupting new DNA constructions be a concern for human health? - ✔✔DNA
contains your genetic blueprint
if DNA cannot be copied as quickly as normal, what would the impact be on the production of
new cells? - ✔✔The impacts would be worse for some cells than others, since not all cells
contain DNA and not all cells are made at the same time
if we can fix damaged DNA, which of the following afflictions might we be able to treat? Select
all that apply - ✔✔sickle cell anemia
type 1 diabetes
cystic fibrosis
adenosine deaminase deficiency
if we could change DNA sequences, we could change ______ - ✔✔ALL OF THE ABOVE
See if you can match each organism to what percent of its DNA is shit with humans. -
✔✔banana ➡️ 50%
dog ➡️ 75%
chimpanzee ➡️ 99%
mountain gorilla ➡️ 96%
which treatment would you recommend for baby Johnson? - ✔✔CRISPR/Cas-9 gene editing
increased safety
increased likelihood of success
more ethically acceptable
