The dna in a cell’s nucleus encodes proteins that are eventually targeted to every membrane and compartment in the cell, as well as proteins that are targeted for secretion from the cell. for example, consider these two proteins: phosphofructokinase (pfk) is an enzyme that functions in the cytoplasm during glycolysis. insulin, a protein that regulates blood sugar levels, is secreted from specialized pancreatic cells. assume that you can track the cellular locations of these two proteins from the time that translation is complete until the proteins reach their final destinations.for each protein, identify its targeting pathway: the sequence of cellular locations in which the protein is found from when translation is complete until it reaches its final (functional) destination. (note that if an organelle is listed in a pathway, the location implied is inside the organelle, not in the membrane that surrounds the organelle.)

Cold case files recently began re-investigating an old murder case. the murder took place in the park; a young man, james, was hit over the head with a brick and killed. police suspected the jealous former boyfriend of james' wife, karen. whoever killed james may have washed their hands in a near-by bird bath as detectives found blood in the bird bath. since the murder took place before dna fingerprinting was available, the suspected killer, ronnie, went free. detectives are now reviewing the blood evidence using dna fingerprinting. based on the dna fingerprints of all possible suspects, who is james' killer?
