Best Answer

A technique where a long chain of same (homo) nucleotides (polymer) are attached to the 3' OH end. This procedure is very useful for subcloning :

(Suppose the one in bold is the target gene and the other is your vector)

5'------------- AA(An)AA-OH --------------3'

+

3'------------- OH-TT(Tn)TT--------------5'

|

|DNA Ligase permanently joins the fragments together

|

V

5'------------- AA(An)AA------------- 3'

3'--------------TT(Tn)TT--------------5'

The bad part is you can't control the length.

Look up Terminal transferases for more details.

Homopolypropylene is made up of only propylene monomer units, while copolypropylene contains a mixture of propylene and other comonomer monomer units.

Copolypropylene is often used to improve impact resistance and flexibility compared to homopolypropylene.
