both of these processes goes awry. Many different molecules control the cell cycle; Porto-oncogenes:Any gene whose proteins tends to promote mitotic cell division if called a proton-oncogene. The genes for growth factors‚ grow factor receptors‚ and some cyclins and Cdks are proton-oncogenes. In most cases‚ progress through the cell cycle beings when a growth-stimulating protein such as epidermal growth factor (EGF) binds to a receptor on the surface of a cell. This stimulates the synthesis of cyclins

and tetracycline (T). The mode of action of Chloramphenicol is the inhibition of protein synthesis. Chloramphenicol irreversibly binds to a receptor sit on the 50S subunit of the ribosome on the bacteria that inhibits the enzyme peptidyl transferase. This inhibition results to the prevention of the transfer of amino acid for growing peptide chains which leads to the inhibition of the formation of bacterial protein. (Michigan State University‚ 2011). Chloramphenicol is a broad-spectrum antibiotic

filaments within these structures are cross-linked by accessory proteins known as actin binding proteins. These proteins connect two actin filaments through its two actin-binding sites or dimerization with actin domains. Crosslinking actin filaments can be performed by fimbrin proteins that attach filaments in a parallel fashion to facilitate movement. Thus‚ they are localized in microvilli‚ filopodia‚ and focal adhesions. Other proteins including α actinin and spectrin connect actin filaments in an

assisted by an enzyme called primase (Weaver‚ 2005). Primase is a short strand of RNA that provides a starting point for DNA synthesis. DNA polymerase III also can only synthesize a new DNA strand in 5’ to 3’ direction. Helicase Is a molecular motor protein that opens up or unzips a strand of DNA‚ creating the replication fork. This now allows the replication process to take place. DNA polymerase I Its function during replication is to remove any RNA primer left in the lagging strand and replace the

(g) Analyse the molecular structure of a dimeric enzyme with a quaternary structure e.g. viral/HIV protease‚ as an example of a globular protein‚ and of collagen as an example of a fibrous protein‚ and relate these structures to their functions.

One – 1. Proteins - Proteins are chains of amino acids. In general‚ proteins may be structural proteins used to build tissues‚ they may be enzymes that mediate chemical reactions‚ or they may be hormones. Examples of proteins would be channel proteins in cell membranes‚ collagen protein in the skin‚ actin and myosin in the muscles‚ and hemoglobin in red blood cells. Types of dietary sources would be‚ meat‚ milk‚ (both of which are not pure proteins‚ but are good sources of protein)‚ eggs‚ grains

hydrogen bond between every fourth peptide bond. They are usually found in fibrous protein such as keratin and collagen. Beta pleated sheets are structures where two regions of the polypeptide chain lie parallel to each other. Again hydrogen bonds between the parts of the backbone in the parallel regions hold the structure together. The cores of many globular proteins are made of beta pleated sheets. The 3-D shape of a protein is otherwise known as the tertiary structure. Superimposed on the patterns of
