Pro-Cops is focused on the development of new drugs targeted at controlling cellular protein trafficking. Your job is to develop new drugs to inhibit the delivery of proteins to specific cellular compartments as follows. For each of the following describe the cellular/molecular pathway involved and indicate which step(s) in the pathway you would choose to control. (If you would like to upload a picture or figure that depicts the pathway and just add some commentary that would also be great.) Indicate why you chose to inhibit this step and both the benefits and drawbacks of doing so for overall cellular health. Protein from outside the cell to the lysosome. Release of neurotransmitter. Delivery of protein to the mitochondria. Delivery of protein to the peroxisome. Describe an experimental plan by which you might identify one of the drugs you decided to develop in part 1. Show less
