I am trying to see if the GFP protein is used with anti-bodies to label the proteins OR something else. It says GFP can be fused to any protein of interest using standard methods of recombinant DNA. I guess that means that an antibody isn't necessary but...what is a standard method of recombinant DNA? HELP!

Thank you! This makes perfect sense, and the slide is misleading.

This is what her slide says, "Lysine and Arginine are "basic" amino acids because of the + charge on their R groups." I see how the NH2 and NH3 of the amino acid is positive, but I still fail to see how the amino acid is considered basic. They are listed as basic, but why do they behave that way, and by which base definition? Thanks for helping.

My bio professor said that the NH3 groups are basic because the have a positive charge. Um...that isn't the Lewis base definition. It isn't the Bronstead Lowry either. What does she mean!

Does the solenoid refer to the nucleosome before supercoiling?

"Race" is a term that is falling out of use. It's better to use the term "population". Race is actually a social construct. For example, there was a time before a wave of eastern european immigrants and italians were not considered "white". After they moved into the suburbs and miscegenated (breeding between "races") italians, in the United States, became "white". Race is something that is constantly being formed, I suggest reading "Racial Transformation in the United States" if you are a college level student. It talks about different paradigms (what ideas are used to explore a subject) of race, we have moved from a biolgical paradigm into a more ethnic paradigm. Race is not something defined across borders, Obama isn't "black" in Brazil.
