What are the findings in McCune-Albright syndrome?
Precocious puberty, cafe-au-lait spots (hyperpigmented macules on skin), fibrous dysplasia characterized by multiple localized whorls of connective tissue.
Gene Frequency Calculations:
Calculate the gene frequencies of alleles 1 and 2:
Allele 1:
4x2 + 8 + 3 = 19.
19 / (50x2) = .19
Allele 2:
5 + 9 = 14.
14 / (50x2) = .14
What are serine proteases? And what are they most similar to in terms of structure and function?
Serine proteases are enzymes that cleave proteins. Examples of serine proteases would be trypsin and chymotrypsin. Other examples include plasmin, thrombin, plasminogen, cathepsin G, and elastase.
