Figure 24.7 shows the analysis of a polypeptide hydrolysate by ion-exchange chromatography.

FIGURE 24.7 Analysis of a mixture of amino acids by ion-exchange chromatography using Amberlite IR-120, a sulfonated polystyrene resin. The resin contains phenyl-SO3-Na+ groups. The amino acid mixture is applied to the column at low pH (3.25), conditions under which the acidic amino acids (Asp, Glu) are weakly bound to the resin and the basic amino acids (Lys, His, Arg) are tightly bound. Sodium citrate buffers of two different concentrations and three different values of pH are used to elute the amino acids from the column. Cysteine is determined as cystine, Cy-S-S-Cys, the disulfide of cysteine.

Because the next codon in figure 25.20d, GCU, codes for the amino acid alanine, only a tRNA-alanine unit can fit the next site.

HERO BEING SEDUCED INTO A VILLAIN

(seduced by the villain ofc) /prompt

“Very good,” the villain praised. “A little deeper.”

There was a crack and the hero gasped, sweating and panting. It felt unreal, it was wrong and it was beyond what they’d expected to be capable of.

“A bit more, sweetheart.” Another crack and then, the hero couldn’t watch anymore. With tears burning in their eyes, they swallowed. Suddenly, they were overwhelmed with emotions. It was too much, too strange. “Perfect.”

The villain’s voice was a purr and their words were like honey. Reassuring, definitely, but sometimes a little too sticky to be good. Their hand around the hero’s was warm and they squeezed gently, thumb drawing little squares into the skin.

“I…” The hero stared at the body.

“You killed them,” the villain whispered. They sounded impressed. “Quite intimately.”

They felt like they had to throw up. The hero looked at the blood and the knife in the supervillain’s chest. The villain’s hand was still around theirs and it still felt weirdly freeing, yet so wrong. But the supervillain had killed with no mercy, right?

“Are you sure they’ve got no pulse?” the hero asked, heart pounding in their chest.

“Pretty much. You stabbed through their lungs and into their heart. Seems deadly to me, love.” The villain kissed the hero’s neck as a reward, catching skin between their teeth to be a little rougher. “You’re being so good.”

“God, this isn’t right. I shouldn’t have killed them,” the hero said but the villain pulled them away gently, hands gliding down to their waist.

“They were a horrible person,” they said as they continued to kiss the hero from behind. “They deserved it.”

“I…” The hero’s head spun.

“Don’t you remember what they did to you?” The villain turned them around easily and went through the hero’s hair with their fingers. “Have you forgotten?”

“No, I just…this feels wrong. They’re—” The hero looked back at the body on the floor, bleeding out. However, the villain caught their jaw and turned their head right back to them.

“Sweetheart.” Their eyes dropped slowly and the hero knew that promised a loving kiss. It felt good to be close to someone after all these months of self-loathing. Somehow, the villain understood and the hero knew they were the only one who ever could.

It was unquestionable loyalty. The hero knew the villain would do anything for them and the hero felt like they had to repay that kindness. Encouragement was like a drug to them.

“You did so well,” the villain whispered and, indeed, they leaned down to press a soft kiss to the hero’s lips. “You’re so perfect.”

Involuntarily, the hero blushed and returned the intimacy, lips against lips, hand in hand, chest against chest. They hesitated at first but the villain’s hands around them steadied them, took their mind off the violent scene. Although they tried their best not to pay too much attention to it, they couldn’t help but notice the blood on the villain’s suit.

Slowly, the villain got bolder though, kissed more passionately, grabbed inappropriate parts of the hero’s body.

“You were doing so well…” they whispered again and the hero couldn’t help but sigh when they had to hold onto the villain so they wouldn’t fall over.

“You think so…?”

“I know so. Killing someone is hard, I understand. But this was a necessity, my love. This had to be done. Your enemies deserve it. They’re horrible people, all of them.”

The villain got a lot lewder as their hands started to find all sorts of ways to get under the hero’s suit.

“I’m so proud of you.”

The hero shuddered, clearly enjoying the praising and with all the touching, they nearly forgot where they were. Nearly.

“Wait…not here…” they gasped and thank god the villain agreed.

It turned them into someone obsessive soon after but the hero truly didn’t miss their humanity once the villain convinced them to kill that too.

Figure 25.20 carries this description further, where we enter the process soon after special steps (not shown) have launched it.

In figure 25.20a, a tRNA-glycine unit arrives at mRNA where it finds two situations, namely, a dipeptide already started and a codon to which the tRNA-glycine can fit. In figure 25.20b, the tRNA-glycine unit is in place. (...) In figure 25.20c, the whole dipeptide unit moves over and is joined to the glycine unit by a newly formed peptide bond. (...) Because the next codon in figure 25.20d, GCU, codes for the amino acid alanine, only a tRNA-alanine unit can fit the next site.

pillow princess is a wlw/lesbian term :)🤍🤍

thank you for educating me! i’ll be carrying this knowledge from now on. i’ll be editing my fic into a different term instead.
