Under the proper environmental conditions, the salt-loving archaeon Halobacterium halobium synthesizes a membrane protein (Mr 26,000) known as bacteriorhodopsin, which is purple because it contains retinal. Molecules of this protein aggregate into "purple patches" in the cell membrane. Bacteriorhodopsin acts as a light-activated proton pump that provides energy for cell functions. X-ray analysis of this protein reveals that it consists of seven parallel α- helical segments, each of which traverses the bacterial cell membrane (thickness 45 Å).
Calculate the minimum number of amino acid residues necessary for one segment of α helix to traverse the membrane completely. Estimate the fraction of the bacteriorhodopsin protein that is involved in membrane-spanning helices. (Use an average amino acid residue weight of 110.)

All cells have the same genetic information, but do not express the same genes. how is this possible? question 10 options: the differences are due to gene expression, which can be turned on and off. genetic material in a muscle cell is completely different from genetic material in a skin cell. genetic material is the same in all cells in the human body, except for reproductive cells. differences are due to major changes in genetic information from cell to cell.
