4. Either end of a railroad line; also, the station house, or the town or city, at that place.

Re: Gene cloning question

... the kozak sequence it shouldn't matter, you would just end up with a longer linker. well it all depends: some proteins may require the N- or C- terminus to be able to move around in order to fold right. However, you're probably best off starting with 5-10. Also, most of these signal peptides ...

Re: endorphins

... amino acids. By comparing the difference spectra with time-release of peptides, they conclude the N-terminal tyrosyl residue interacts with the C-terminus, and that this interaction disappears when the bond between Ala-21 and Ile-22 is cleaved. See the complete article at http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/picrender.fcgi?artid=349251&blobtype=pdf. ...

introns and exons

... exon coding for 123 amino acids matching the cDNA. There is no cDNA in your database encoding for a UB2 gene with these 123 amino acids at the N-terminus. What part of the protein is the N-terminus, beginning or end? So what do you think is UB2. Remebre, annotation are just comments, they can ...

introns and exons

... understand the last sentence of the question: "There is no cDNA in your database encoding for a UB2 gene with these 123 amino acids at the N-terminus." is this trying to say that UB2 gene actually does not exist? that it is just the 1 exon that was not included in alternative splicing ...

introns and exons

... exon coding for 123 amino acids matching the cDNA. There is no cDNA in your database encoding for a UB2 gene with these 123 amino acids at the N-terminus. A. Is UB2 justified as being a separate gene? Explain why or why not. B. Draw a picture of YFG’s most likely intron/exon organization. A. ...
