Viruses
Viruses can have these two types of genetic material.
What are RNA and DNA?
This protein was derived from jellyfish and is used as an indicator in many areas of research, including the fight against feline AIDS.
What is green fluorescent protein (GFP)?
This is the property that determines the function of a protein.
What is shape?
This is what is solution is called with its pH is less than 7.
What is an acid?
This is the number of stops on a micropipette plunger.
What is two?
Viruses are very specific to certain types of cells. This type of virus can infect a cell such as E. coli.
What is a bacteriophage?
This is the type of light in which green fluorescent protein (GFP) glows.
What is ultraviolet (UV) light?
This biological molecule is the building block of all proteins.
What is an amino acid?
This is the unit measure of concentration and can be calculated by dividing moles by liters.
What is molarity (or moles)?
This is the highest priority of anything at BNL.
What is safety?
This is the virus life cycle in which viruses replicate more quickly and burst out of a host cell.
What is the lytic cycle?
This is the name of bacterial DNA that is arranged in a circular strand.
What is a plasmid?
This material is what needs to be grown in a laboratory in order to use X-ray diffraction to study the shape of a protein.
What is a protein crystal?
This component in a reaction lowers the activation energy and remains unchanged at the end of the reaction.
What is a catalyst?
This solution is something that resists changes in pH and is extremely important for viruses, bacteria, protein production, and chemistry.
What is a buffer?
Virus is a Latin derivative meaning this word.
What is poison?
We used this antibiotic to kill off cells that didn’t take up our target protein.
What is ampicillin?
This laboratory technique is used to separate components of a mixture based off of charge using resin beads.
What is Ion-Exchange (Column, or Hydrophobic Interaction) Chromatography?
These two components are made when neutralizing an acid and a base.
What are salt and water?
This interdisciplinary field of science combining biology, statistics, and computer science can be used for comparative genomics.
What is Bioinformatics?
This was the first human virus discovered. It was discovered by Walter Reed.
What is Yellow Fever?
This is the laboratory technique in which a loop is used to transfer bacteria to a solution or plate.
What is inoculation?
This chemical buffer is used to make a separation resin the same concentration as your loading solution.
What is a condition (equilibrium) buffer?
This method can be used to more accurately determine pH than measuring it with pH paper.
What is titration?
This is what a set of values is stored as in Python code.
What is a string (or array)?
