Explanation / Answer

7. Proteome pattern diagnosis:

Proteome pattern involves, obtaining signal patterns by mass spectrometry, in form of either electrospray ionization (ESI) or surface enhanced laser desorption or ionization (SELDI).

Proteomics pattern can be used I diagnosis, especially early detection of cancers. The serum from the diseased individual and healthy individuals are acquired, mass spectrometry patterns are generated for each, followed by use of artificial intelligence programming to analyze and compare the patterns. It does not depend on conventional method of biomarker or protein marker detection. It also, does not use radioisotope markers.

Option B is correct.

8. Mass spectrometry can be used to detect protein modifications. This includes glycosylation, phosphorylation, as well as proteolytic cleavages by proteases (endo-protease or exo-protease).

Option E is correct.

9. Six (or nine) histidine residues are incorporated as poly-histidine tags, for purification of recombinant proteins. His-6 tags can be introduced in -terminal or C-terminal of the protein. They can be easily detected due to the reason that, several immobilized metal ions (like nickel, cobalt, copper). The method of protein purification, elution of proteins may be enhanced by adding imidazole.

Option d is correct.

10. Biopanning is used in peptide selection. Steps involved are: introduction of gene of interest into bacteriophage genome (M13), desired target is conjugated to phage library, selecting the target peptide with specific antibody. Biopanning does not involve histidine 6 in each peptide.

Option b is correct.

11. Two hybrid system or screening is used for detection of protein-protein interaction, protein-DNA interaction, or protein binding with each other or comparative to DNA. It involves interaction of “bait” with “prey” (DNA or Protein), that will switch on the reporter gene. It was developed in yeast, ad can be used in other organisms.

Option A is correct.

12. Metabolomics is study involving metabolites. They involve small molecule analysis in metabolic profiles. Diabetes detection by metabolomics, use glucose as C33 and C34.

Option d is correct.
