BCA Assay Results Analysis
You have just calculated the amount of GFPS65T (in mg) recovered by student Alex. Do you expect this to be less, more, or the same as the mg amount of GST-GFPS65T in the initial lysate sample (before purification commenced). Your answer should include a consideration of milligrams of protein and moles of protein.
Answer less, more, or same, then justify your answer briefly. This section should be no more than 1/3 page.
Explanation / Answer
Hfr cells involved in conjugation transfer host genes in a linear fashion. The genes transferred depend on both the Hfr strain and the length of time during which the transfer occurred. Therefore, a population containing several different Hfr strains will appear to have an almost random transfer of host genes. This is similar to generalized transduction, in which the viral protein coat forms around a specific amount of DNA rather than specific genes. In generalized transduction, any gene can be transferred.
F´ factors arise from improper excision of an Hfr from the bacterial chromosome. They can have only specific bacterial genes on them because the integration site is fixed for each strain. Specialized transduction resembles this in that the viral particle integrates into a specific region of the bacterial chromosome and then, upon improper excision
