In Professor Sun’s guest lecture, he discusses the usefulness of using quorum-sensing and the applications it has to determining cell density, diffusion and efficiency. 1upg is a system that is controlled by quorum-sensing, working to relocate plasmids containing tumor-inducers into the protein. By transferring these plasmids to 1upg, it allows the ‘bacteria to synchronize infection’ when the sensing cells have become involved.
1upg is comprised of a , and has a cluster of 3
within the protein. When a look is taken at the
, we see that very little of the molecule disappears, showing us that the structure is fairly simple and not complex. We also can see that the
of the molecules is standard to that of normal proteins, where the charged areas are placed on the outer structure of the protiein, where it can interact with water.
