Lab 01/28/2020

Hello everyone,

in today's lab, I streaked a TGY plate (my second time ever streaking) with D.geo for Chad to propagate it for the experiment we will be conducting next week. More information on the experiment will be coming soon.

Bioinformatics- Assignment #6

P04745-Alpha-amylase 1 Uniprot ID: AMY1_HUMAN Protein: Alpha-amylase 1 Gene: AMY1A Diseases associated with alpha-amylase: None to be noted. Catalytic activity: Endohydrolysis of (1->4)-alpha-D-glucosidic linkages in polysaccharides containing three or more (1->4)-alpha-linked D-glucose units. Cofactor: Calcium ion (Ca2+) and Chloride ion (Cl-) Alpha-amylase was found to be rather mildly expressed exclusively in the pancreas. No other organs/regions could be noted.  Some aspects of alpha-amylase I am curious about are, one, why is there such little data about it? Two, why would it be expressed only in the pancreas and not somewhere along the digestive tract?  One project idea I have in mind is further investigating where else alpha-amylase could possibly be expressed, and discovering why it is expressed higher in one region than another.

Bioinformatics- Assignment 7| CollecTF Database

The three different species of bacteria: - Firmicutes - Clostridia - Clostridiales Ecosystem details: Digestive system -> Large intestine -> Fecal Transcription factor, CsoR.  Motif - Inverted repeat  G/C content - 69.23% Regulatory mode - Activation 0%, Repression 100%, Dual 0%, Not specified 0%. TF conformation - Monomer 0%, Dimer 0%, Tetramer 100%, Other 0%, Not specified 0%. Binding site type - Motif-associated 1, Variable-motif-associated 0, Non-motif-associated 0.  The specific type of gene regulation this transcription factor is involved in I couldn't determine. However, I'm inclined to say, TTHA.
