Create a table and a graph for the effect of the active on DNA fragmentation, give a title that includes whether the active is beneficial or harmful for cancer management/treatment (use Table’s column 4/DNA fragmentation info)
Create a table and a graph for the effect of the active on caspase-3 activity, give a title that includes whether the active is beneficial or harmful for cancer management/treatment (use Table’s column 5/ caspase-3 activity info)
Section the following procedure for DNA fragmentation into (i) cell lysis buffer (lyses cells), (ii) proteinase K digestion (iii) DNA precipitation and (iv) gel electrophoresis. Illustrate how a gel would look based on column 4 results
DNA fragmentation and Caspase-3 activity is well known and frequently used method in programmed cell death also known as apoptosis. Since here we are talking about cancer cells so active is beneficial in both cases that is for DNA fragmentation as well as caspase-3 assay. We can clearly evident the effectiveness of the compound in dose dependent manner, a significantly increased DNA fragmentation can be seen in DNA fragmentation as well as in caspase-3 activity, around 5-fold increase can be observed in 500uM active treated cells as compared to control cells (untreated cells).
For DNA fragmentation experiment, first of all extract the DNA from untreated and treated cells through cell lysis, treated with proteinase K, purified DNA samples and run them over 2% (or 1 to 1.5%) agarose gel along with DNA marker, So fragmented DNA can be seen in the form of look like ladder on to the gel which can be visualized in EtBr stained gel under UV light. DNA fragmentation experiment is generally also called as DNA laddering experiment.
Note: Please note that, since this compound is causing damage to the cells so less cells viabity can be seen in dose dependent manner and also fewer cells as compared to the control (assume 100%).

What control elements regulate expression of the mPGES-1 gene? The promoter of a gene includes the DNA immediately upstream of the transcription start site, but expression of the gene can also be affected by control elements. These can be thousands of base pairs upstream of the promoter, grouped in an enhancer. Because the distance and spacing of these control elements make them difficult to identify, scientists begin by deleting sections of DNA that contain possible control elements and measuring the...
1. According to the paper, what does lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) do and what does it allow to happen within the myofiber? (5 points) 2. According to the paper, what is the major disadvantage of relying on glycolysis during high-intensity exercise? (5 points) 3. Using Figure 1 in the paper, briefly describe the different sources of ATP production at 50% versus 90% AND explain whether you believe this depiction of ATP production applies to a Type IIX myofiber in a human....
