    Radioisotopes used to detect newly synthesized protein is

    A)                 \[{{C}^{14}}\]                                    

    B) \[{{O}^{18}}\]                                   

    C)                 \[{{N}^{15}}\]

    D) \[{{S}^{35}}\]                

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Proteins are large-sized molecules having one or more polypeptides. Newly synthesized protein is detected by using radioisotope of sulphur \[({{S}^{35}})\]. Radioisotope of carbon \[({{C}^{14}})\] used to prove the \[C{{O}_{2}}\] reduction in dark reaction of photosynthesis. Heavy isotope of oxygen \[({{O}^{18}})\] is used to determine that oxygen in photosynthesis released as a product of photolysis of water. Meselson and Stahl (1958) varified the semi-conservative nature of DNA-replication by using heavy isotope of nitrogen \[({{N}^{15}})\].
