Document Summary
You review the literature about pmmo and learn that pmmo is a membrane bound copper and iron containing enzyme. The structural genes for this enzyme lie in a three-gene operon named: pmocab. This operon codes for the three integral membrane polypeptides: pmoc, Pmoa and pmob of approximately 23, 27, and 45 kda, respectively that make up the final functional enzyme pmmo (mcdonald et al, 2008 applied and environmental. Microbiology, p1305-1315) for an excellent presentation, you decide that the heiress must understand the answers to the following questions. The freshman undergraduate in the lab offers to draw the figures. Image a is the best representative of the arrangement of pmoc, pmoa, and pmob genese in the mc chromosome. The diagram illustrates that these three genes are just a triad of the many genes that compose the whole chromosome. The different colors represent the different coding genes for different properties of the organism (ie. metabolism, taxis, respiration, etc. )
