BCH403 FINAL EXAM QUESTIONS WITH REVISED ANSWERS – UPDATED!! Which of the following is NOT a potential function of specific transcription factors? - Answer-Melt promoter DNA The following peptide is dissolved in a solution of pH 7. M-D-L-P-S-K. What is the peptide's net charge and can this peptide be purified by ion exchange chromatography? - Answer-0, and it cannot because it is at the isoelectric point. The process by which hydrophobic molecules are driven together, therefore maximiz...
