What are DNA strands separated by?
Assuming this is regarding DNA replication or transcription, the enzyme helicase separates the two strands.
What molecule will proofread the new DNA strands?
RNA polymerase is the enzyme that connect the new nucleotides together and proofreads them.
What is a substrate in the context of enzyme reaction?
Enzyme-substrate specificity means that a substrate can fit into an enzyme similar to a key fitting into a lock. The active site of the enzyme is what determines its specificity. An enzyme can hence catalyze a reaction with a specific substrate, such as amylase catalyzing starch molecules. During these reactions, the substrate is held in a precise optimum position to create and break bonds, catalyzing the molecule.
Where is ATPase enzyme needed for muscle contraction located?
It is in the mitochodria and speeds up the formation of ATP by breaking down ATP into ADP + energy. Muscle cells have many more mitochrondia than other cells.
What is an active site and what is its relationship to an enzyme?
an active site in an enzyme is the area that breaks the bond in its substrate. E.g. a maltose molecule's glycocide bond is broken by the active site in a maltase enzyme.
The enzyme pyruvate kinase is responsible for catalyzing the conversion of phosphoenolpyruvate into?
pyruvate
What enzyme is responsible for catalyzing immediate energy system?
creatine kinase
What is meant when catalase is described as an 'intracellular enzyme'?
Intracellular enzymes act inside cells and are responsible for catalyzing reactions that are occurring in metabolic pathways in the chloroplast.
What do biologists use to cut DNA into smaller fragments?
A restriction enzyme (or restriction endonuclease) is an enzyme that cuts double-stranded or single stranded DNA at specific recognition nucleotide sequences called restriction sites.
What is it called when a substance other than the intended substrate binds with the enzyme there by blocking the enzyme fall catalyzing the reaction?
The inhibitor.
What enzyme class is a carnivorous plant likely to have that other plants do not?
Protease for catalyzing proteins.
Which molecule is responsible for separating double-stranded DNA into single strands?
At high temperatures, DNA denatures into single strands. A temperature around 95 degrees should work.
What enzyme is responsible for breaking the hydrogen bonds between the two strands and unwinding the helix?
Helicases and gyrases both function to uncoil the supercoiling of the two DNA strands. Moreover, gyrase is responsible for adjusting the tension in the two strands so that they don't snap while unraveling.
Which enzyme copies DNA strands?
ligase
What enzyme builds new DNA strands from existing strands during DNA replication?
DNA Polymerase III is responsible for adding new nucleotides to the strand being synthesised. Also involved in DNA replication are DNA Polymerase I which replaces primers with nucleotides, and DNA Ligase which joins fragments of DNA together.
The enzyme used to separate the strands of DNA is?
DNA Polymerase
What are DNA strands separated by?
Assuming this is regarding DNA replication or transcription, the enzyme helicase separates the two strands.
