Q1. Chloramphenicol is the antibiotic that targets prokaryotic (70S) ribosomes, but not eukaryotic (80S) ribosomes. Which of these stems from the observation, plus an understanding of eukaryotic origins?
Q2. Green fluorescent protein (GFP) be capable of be used to fluorescently label a definite protein in cells by genetically engineering cells to synthesize the target protein fused to GFP. What is an advantage of using GFP fusions to visualize specific proteins, instead of staining cells with fluorescently labelled probes that bind to the target protein?
