What is the matching anticodon for ACC?
TGG
How do base pairing rules explain how a strand of DNA acts as a template during DNA replication?
the 4 nucleotide bases are adenine, guanine, thymidine & cytosine. In a double stranded DNA adenine always pairs with thymidine & guanine always pairs with cytosine. so knowing the base pairs in strand we can determine the base pairs of the other strand. hence DNA strand acts as a template during DNA replication.
What does enzyme dpd do in the body?
DPD is the rate limiting enzyme involved in the catabolism of pyrimidines like thymidine and uracil. DPD is also the main enzyme involved in the degradation of structurally related compounds like 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU), a widely used anticancer drug.
What nucleotide base in DNA is replaced by a base in RNA?
In DNA thymine is one of the nitrogen bases, but in RNA uracil replaces thymine still leaving four nitrogen bases
Does DNA or RNA have uracil?
purine. I remember cytosine, guamine, and uracil are pyrimindine because the word pyrimidine makes me think of the word pryamid and there are THREE pyrimidines which spell the word CUT :) hope that helps :)
What is radioactive thymidine?
Thymidine is a nucleoside that consists of one thymine molecule linked to a d-doxyribose sugar molecule. Radioactive thymidine is usually used in DNA labeling.
What has the author J E Cleaver written?
J. E. Cleaver has written: 'Thymidine metabolism and cell kinetics' -- subject(s): Cell populations, Radioactive tracers in cytology, Thymidine metabolism
Why only tritiated thymidine used for estimating cell proliferation and not anything other nucleotide?
It is because thymidine is only incorporated into DNA (recall DNA uses A,C,G, and T whereas RNA uses A,C,G,and U). Thus it is a good indicator of DNA synthesis whereas tritiating any of the other bases might also be incorporated into RNA.
What is thymidine birthdating?
Thymidine birthdating is a method used to determine the age of cells in the body. It involves labeling dividing cells with a chemical called thymidine analog, which gets incorporated into the DNA of newly formed cells. By analyzing the presence and distribution of these labeled cells, researchers can estimate when the cells were generated, providing insights into cellular turnover rates and tissue regeneration.
What is a 9 letter word that deals with DNA?
Thymidine- a nucleoside component of DNA; composed of thymidine and deoxyribose
What base does RNA NOT contain?
Thymidine.
Pyrimidine that pairs with adenine?
Thymidine
What is the chemical formula of thymidine?
C10H14N2O5
Deamination of 5-methylcytosine produces?
Thymidine
What is the matching anticodon for ACC?
TGG
How many kinds of building blocks are there for DNA?
The Nucleosies: guanosine, adenosine, thymidine and uridine?
In DNA replication adenine bindes with what?
In DNA replication A (adenosine) binds to T (thymidine).
