Problem:
Question 1: Although the Kreb's cycle generates some GTP which is isomerized to ATP, what is the main function of this amphibolic pathway?
Question 2: In the electron transport chain, what can you say about the relative electronegativities of the components of the chain? What is unusual about the bacterial ATP synthase?
Question 3: What is an indirect result of the electron shuttling and hydrogen ion leakage that occurs in the electron transport chain?
Question 4: If you knew the sequences of two different strands of DNA, could you roughly predict the Tm's (temperature of melting)? How?
Question 5: What is the difference between a class I and a class II topoisomerase? What is DNA gyrase? Why is it important to maintain the chromosomes in "supercoiled domains"?
