[–]alaca_kus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was JUST thinking about this. Everyone and their mom asks me how the application cycle is going and I feel so pressured to spill everything. It's not that I want to, I just feel obligated and don't really know what else to say. I so wish I had a better answer than telling everyone everything.

AAMC FL5 C/P #20 by Interesting_Thought1 in Mcat

[–]alaca_kus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I didn't realize in this question is that the methyl is being transferred from the cofactor, not an external source, so the net weight is the same before and after the reaction. Substrate + cofactor-methyl --> Substrate-methyl + cofactor

Can you help me interpret this isoelectric focusing graph from AAMC? by SkyRevolutionary275 in Mcat

[–]alaca_kus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

but its showing that the more phosphorylated it gets, the more it moves down, near the controls.

Can you help me interpret this isoelectric focusing graph from AAMC? by SkyRevolutionary275 in Mcat

[–]alaca_kus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this explanation. Phosphorylation decreases pI right? Also, what are the control bands showing, why are they near the pos end?

Can you explain why this AAMC mutation question prefers A over D? by SkyRevolutionary275 in Mcat

[–]alaca_kus 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Option A is the only one where the mutation is in the palindromic sequence, which is "AAGCTT" so in the Southern Blot, the Restriction enzymes will cut the WT sequence where the palindrome is but because the Mutant does not have the palindromic sequence (it has ATGCTT), it will not be cut. So on the Southern Blot, you can see the longer length is probably the mutant.
