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.
Where does ssb protein bind on lagging strand or on leading strand?
ssb protein bind to the lagging strand as leading strand is invovled in dna replication and lagging strand is invovled in okazaki fragment formation
What is a large protein that uses energy from H plus ions to bind ADP and a phosphate group together?
Atp synthase
What name is given to the group of proteins that bind to the unzipped DNA to keep the DNA bases from re-bonding once they have unzipped?
The mRNA strand!
What is ATP and is its role in the cell?
a large protein that uses energy from H+ ions to bind ADP and a phosphate group together to produce ATP.
What is ATP and what role is it in the cell?
a large protein that uses energy from H+ ions to bind ADP and a phosphate group together to produce ATP.
What kind of functional group that is made of a corbon atom that forms a double bind with an oxygen atom and a single bond with a hydroxyl is what?
a carboxylic acid group, or carboxyl group
What do the template strands of DNA always begin with?
DNA is made of of two complimentary strands, the coding strand and the template strand. When DNA is transcribed (made into messenger RNA which can be converted by ribosomes into proteins) the DNA splits open and free nucleotide bases bind to the template strand. DNA is made of T/C/G/A and RNA is made of U/C/G/A nucleotide bases. G and C bind (they are said to be 'complimentary') A and T bind and in RNA U and A bind (so U replaces T.) The newly formed RNA strand (made on the template stand of DNA) is 'complimentary' to the template but the same as the coding strand of DNA. Hence the template is used to produce RNA which is a copy of the coding strand. Either strand of DNA can act as the template/coding strand. Hope that is a little bit helpful!
What is main function of DNA polymerase?
The DNA polymerase enzyme synthesises the complementary DNA strand to a single stranded DNA strand (in vivo and in vitro). This often requires the presence of a 3' end for the polymerase enzyme to bind to before synthesis can begin. Taq polymerase (A DNA polymerase) is often used in PCR reactions to synthesise DNA in vitro using primers to provide a 3' end to bind to.
What is one role that triphosphate deoxyribonucleotides play in a cell?
Triphosphate deoxyribonucleotides form hydrogen bonds with their complements in a DNA parent strand during transcription of the leading strand of DNA. Example Adenine nucleotides bind to thymine nucleotides Guanine nucleotides bind to Cytosine nucleotides
Which mineral has as its primary function to bind phosphate groups in ATP and ATP-dependent enzyme reactions?
Magnesium
What types of electrolytes bind easily?
Calcium and phosphate have the greatest tendency to form complexes with each other
