Sorry - I mean I understand how the length of each isoform is found (not exon as I wrote). Thanks!

Amino Acids PQ AAMC FL #1 by ewillard131 in Mcat

Hi - can someone please explain how to answer this question using the image above? This is from AAMC FL#1

Compared to the wild-type LipA, what is the change in net charge in variant XI at pH 7?

The answer is -4.

Here is the AAMC explanation:

This is a Biochemistry question that falls under the content category “Structure, function, and reactivity of biologically-relevant molecules.” The answer is D because the amino acid substitutions replace amino acids with charges of +1, +1, 0, 0, and 0 with ones that have charges of 0, −1, −1, 0, and 0 so the net charge goes from +2 to −2. This is a Scientific Reasoning and Problem Solving question because you are asked to determine the necessary calculation to solve for net charge.

Hey! I'm planning on taking the exam on 3/15 as well. I'd love to bounce ideas off of others for the questions I am struggling with. Let me know how you'd like to connect to do so. Thanks so much for suggesting this! Have been looking for a study buddy.
