Some membranes are positively charged and therfore they can electrostaticaly bind negatively charged DNA. Exposing of membrane with electrostaticaly bound DNA to UV light will make make covalent binds between membrane and DNA.

What is the difference between nylon membrane and nitrocellulose membrane?
Nylon membranes are less brittle and easier to handle than nitrocellulose, making them ideal for reprobing. They also respond more robustly to various environmental storage conditions than nitrocellulose. Nylon's highly hydrophilic nature makes prewetting unnecessary, and nylon membranes have much higher binding capacities than nitrocellulose for nucleic acids.
What is the purpose of using the nylon membrane?
To transfer protein from a gel to a positively charged surface! that nylon or nitrocellulose membrane can be served as a plane for protein to be attached on it after western blotting
What do single stranded binding proteins do?
When double stranded DNA is unwound into single stranded DNA, single-strand binding proteins bind to each single stranded DNA strand and prevent the two strands from reattaching to each other, allowing DNA replication to continue.
What is the weakest part of DNA?
membrane
What do all cells have?
Membrane, Cytoplasm, Ribosomes, and DNA
What does the nylon membrane do?
DNA gets transfered onto it.
What color is the nylon membrane in the DNA test on cryptids island?
yellow
Why do you put the x-ray film on top of nylon membrane in the tray?
So that your DNA does what it needs to do for your body.

What is the action of a DNA binding protein?
dna binding protein binds the 2 anti parallel strands of dna together

Why do you need to place a nylon membrane over electrophoresis gel?
protect it
Many hormones induce changes in cells by first binding to plasma membrane?
Many hormones induce changes in cells by first binding to plasma membrane surface receptors.
What membrane isolates DNA in a eukaryotic cell?
The nuclear membrane
What is blotting and types of blotting?
Blotting is a technique of transferring DNA or RNA or Protein from a gel to the membrane. nitrocellulose, PVDF or nylon membrane are used to attach these molecules permanently on them. Western, southern and norther blotting are the techniques used to transfer protein, DNA and RNA respectively. It is done to detect them with a specific probe or antibody. This can not be detected or easy to handle on the gel, so we do blot for these analysis.
