You obtain 6 BACs (of known order, as shown below) and 7 STSs (of unknown order) that derive from a region of mouse chromosome 16 whose genomic sequence has not yet been finished.   

 

By PCR (using 20-bp primers at either end of each STS), you test each of the 6 BACs for the presence (+) or absence (-) of each of the 7 STSs. You obtain the following results:

 

You determine the DNA sequences of PCR products obtained at STS5 using BACs B, C, D, E, and F as PCR templates. The DNA sequences of PCR products obtained using BACs B and C are identical, but they differ by several nucleotide substitutions from the DNA sequences of PCR products obtained using BACs E and F. Oddly, PCR product obtained using BAC D appears to be a mixture of two sequences – one corresponding to the BAC B/ BAC C sequence and the other corresponding to the BAC E/ BAC F sequence. Briefly account for these findings, and explain how a single PCR assay could amplify two different sequences.

Lysozyme is an enzyme that destroys bacterial cell walls. It does so by hydrolyzing the β(1→4) glycosidic linkages from N- acetylmuramic acid (NAM or MurNAc) to N- acetylglucosamine (NAG or GlcNAc) in cell wall peptidoglycans. The only functional groups in the immediate vicinity of lysozyme’s reactive center that have the required catalytic properties are the side chains of Glu 35 and Asp 52.

a- Glu perform reaction in its protonated state and Asp perform reaction in its deprotonated state. 

b- Glu perform reaction in its deprotonated state and Asp perform reaction in its protonated state. 

c- both in its protonated form

d- both in its deprotonated form
