Biotechnology Chapter 6 Day 2 Antibody variable regions are of particular interest in terms of biotechnology applications. Discuss how Fab fragments, dsFv fragments, and scFv fragments attempt to shed excess protein sequence. What’s so great about camel antibodies? What could bispecific antibodies be used for? Look at this paper and discuss how this new technique … Continue reading Cell Analyses Using Antibodies

Biotechnology Chapter 6 Day 1 Questions Compare and contrast antigens and immunogens. Draw an antibody and label important parts. Describe the function of each part. Draw an antibody that has been digested with papain. How do the heavy and light chain fragments hold together following this cleavage event? When are DNA recombination and mRNA splicing … Continue reading B Cells and Antibodies

Biotechnology Chapter 5 Day 3 Questions How are snRNAs (snurps) involved in splicing? How does this differ from group II intron splicing?  What’s a lariat?  What’s a lariat structure? https://youtu.be/Dp_b9elTxdc Data from what method was used to identify many new alternative splice sites? How can an antisense therapeutic affect alternative splicing? Riboswitches are mostly found … Continue reading Artificial and Natural RNA Activities
