 Correct approaches to protein structure prediction-:

i. Homology modeling

a) Methods is the Rosetta program, formulated by David Baker. To satisfy the program’s computational needs, a volunteer network of ∼100,000 computers, known as Rosetta@home, provides the 500,000 or so hours of processing time required to generate a structure.

ii. Structural genomics

b) which seeks to determine the X-ray structures of all representative domains, is aimed at expanding this predictive technique. The identification of structural homology is likely to provide clues as to a protein’s function even with imperfect structure prediction.

iii. Threading

c) Is a computational technique that attempts to determine the unknown structure of a protein by ascertaining whether it is consistent with a known protein structure. It does so by placing the unknown protein’s residues along the backbone of a known protein structure and then determining whether the amino acid side chains of the unknown protein are stable in that arrangement

iv. Ab initio

d) Aligns the sequence of interest with the sequence of a homologous protein or domain of known structure—compensating for amino acid substitutions, insertions, and deletions—through modeling and energy minimization calculations.

The series of events by which APC/C promotes the separation of sister chromatids at anaphase.
A. all the kinetochores have attached to spindle microtubules and the spindle apparatus is properly assembled and oriented.
B. Cdc20 specificity factor associated with APC/C directs it to ubiquitinylate securin and mitotic cyclins. 
C. A protease known as separase cleaves the cohesin subunit Scc1 (Rad21), breaking the protein circles linking sister chromatids.
D. anaphase begins as poleward force exerted on the kinetochores moves the split sister chromatids toward opposite spindle poles.
E. Following securin degradation and a decrease in mitotic CDK activity.

#Unit 2. Cellular Organization

Following statements are regarding to model for reassembly of the nuclear envelope during telophase. 
A. Extensions of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) associate with each decondensing chromosome and then fuse with one another, forming a double membrane around the chromosome. 
B. Dephosphorylated nuclear pore subcomplexes reassemble into nuclear pores, forming individual mini-nuclei called karyomeres. 
C. The enclosed chromosome further decondenses, and subsequent fusion of the nuclear envelopes of all the karyomeres at each spindle pole forms a single nucleus containing a full set of chromosomes.
D. Phosphorylated nuclear pore subcomplexes reassemble into nuclear pores, forming individual mini-nuclei called karyomeres.

Following statements are regarding to Kinetochore-microtubule interaction in S. cerevisiae.
A. In the simple kinetochore of S. cerevisiae, a protein complex called CBF3 associates with specialized, centromere-specific form of histone H3, called CENP-A.
B. The Ndc80 complexes initially make lateral interactions with a spindle microtubule and subsequently interact with a Dam1 complex, which forms a ring around the end of the microtubule. This interaction results in an end-on attachment of the centromere to the
spindle microtubule.
C. Microtubules that “capture” kinetochores are selectively stabilized by a reduction in the rate of catastrophes, which increases the chance that the attachment will persist.
D. With the two kinetochores attached to opposite poles, the duplicated chromosome is now under tension, being pulled in both directions by the one sets of kinetochore microtubules.
