1.8 Calculations for the Purification of a Recombinant Protein The purification of a recombinant protein is carried out starting with 100 liters of a clarified cell lysate (i.e., the cells have been lysed, and the cell debris has been removed to give a clarified solution), which has a total protein concentration of 0.36 mg/ml and a recombinant protein con- centration of 2.2 U/ml, where U denotes units of biological activity of the recombinant protein. It is known that the completely pure recombinant protein has a specific activity of 40.0 U/mg. Purification is continued until a chromatography step that yields 2.0 liters of a fraction containing the protein, with a total protein concentration of 1.11 mg/ml and a recombinant protein concentration of 43.2 U/ml.For the recombinant protein, calculate the starting and ending purity, the starting and ending specific activity, and the percentage yield and fold purification through the chromatography step.

Below are 9 possible primer pairs. ● Determine which primer pair is the best choice by considering the following: 1. primers should be 18-24 bases in length; 2. base composition should be 45-55% (G+C); 3. primers should end (3') in a G or C, or CG or GC: this prevents "breathing" of ends and increases efficiency of priming; 4. Tms tween 55-70°℃ are preferred (Tas, annealing temperatures, are approximately 5°C lower than the Tm); 5. the Tm for your primer pair should be within 2 degrees of each other, though ideally the same; 6. runs of three or more Cs or Gs at the 3'-ends of primers may promote mispriming at G or C-rich sequences (because of stability of annealing), and should be avoided; 7. 3'-ends of primers should not be complementary (i.e. base pair), as otherwise the formation of primer dimers will result; 8. primer self-complementary (ability to form secondary structures such as hairpins) should be avoided. • Explain why the other primers are not good choices. ● Underline or…

SDS-PAGE and Agarose gel electrophoresis can both be used to separate proteins or protein- complexes based on their size. Separation of a multi-subunit protein complex by SDS-PAGE resulted in two bands with molecular weights of 86 KDa and 136 KDa, while separation of the same complex using Agarose gel electrophoresis resulted in two bands with molecular weights of 222 KDa and 444 KDa. Based on this information, which of the following statements is most likely to be correct? O The complex has a molecular weight of 222 KDa O The complex exists as a dimer of homo-dimers O The complex exists as a dimer of hetero-dimers SE O The complex exists as a trimer, but the individual protein subunits are covalently crosslinked to each other
