Question
Smith and Winter were awarded a half share of the 2018 Nobel Prize in chemistry for their development of this technique. For 10 points each:
[10m] Name this technique that studies protein-protein interactions by modifying viruses to show peptides on their coat while containing the gene for the protein inside.
ANSWER: phage display [prompt on display]
[10e] Another display technique is named after this organelle to create proteins that can bind to a desired ligand. In the cell, these organelles carry out translation.
ANSWER: ribosome [accept ribosome display]
[10h] A related technique, mRNA display, translates peptides with a linkage to their mRNA progenitor through this antibiotic. This antibiotic is an analogue of the 3’ end of a tyrosyl-tRNA with a part of its structure that mimics a molecule of adenosine.
ANSWER: puromycin
