Question
If you to isolate of chelk wanted calsk xakte a copy of the gene that codes for a protein found in the stomachcoul that gene be locared in Explain your reasoning. The protease used in this procedure functions best at 50 C. Would you expect this enzyme to be isolated from Escherichia coli bacteria? Explain your answer. Hint: Where does E coli live? Meat tenderizer is often used to tenderize tough pieces of meat, like steak. Knowing that steak is made of protein-rich muscle tissue from cows, can you think of an explanation for how meat tenderizer works?Explanation / Answer
YES, the copy for gene that expresses a protein in stomach can be isolated from the cheek cells as the genome of all the cells in the body is same. Its just that the regulation of expression of genes in different organs is different based on the need and requirements.
NO, this enzyme should not be isolated from E.coli as it grows on the temperature of 37 degrees and all its enzymes are adapted to work at 37, not 50 degrees. So, even if the protein is isolated, it would get denatured at 50 degrees
Meat tenderizers contains proteases that targets muscle fibres and collagen that holds the cells together reasulting in tender meat product.
