The complementarity of its two strands is the underlying reason that DNA can be faithfully copied. Propose alternative chemical structures that could be faithfully copied.
Examination of the structure of DNA polymerases bound to nucleotide analogs reveals that conserved residues come within van der Waals contact of C-2' of the bound nucleotide. What is the potential significance of this interaction?
Interpret the fluorescent peaks obtained during a DNAsequencing run as a sequence of nucleotides with theproper polarity
The relative proportions of cytosine-guanine and adeninethymine bonds in a DNA sample can be estimated by measuring its “melting temperature,” the temperature at which half of the DNA strands have pulled apart. Samples with a high percentage of cytosine-guanine pairs have a higher melting temperature than samples with a high percentage of adeninethymine pairs. Explain why this is so, considering the nature of the bonds that hold the base pairs together (look back at as shown).
Not just generic "degradation" or even shorter DNA fragments, what specific structure change in double-stranded DNA does the hyperchromicity effect show?
Biochemist Erwin Chargaff was the first to note that, in DNA, [A] = [T] and [G]= [C], equalities now called Chargaff’s rule. Using this rule, determine the percentages of all the bases in DNA that is 20% thymine.
For each individual on gel, determine if the individual is homozygous for presence of the Alu insertion (++), heterozygous (+-), homozygous for the absence of the Alu insertion (- -), or if the results are inconclusive (I) (explain in detail what leads to your determination of each individual on the gel and why). Explain what may have caused any unexpected bands (neither 850 nor 550) lack of bands.
Supercoiled DNA is slightly unwound compared to relaxed DNA and this enables it to assume a more compact structure with enhanced physical stability. Describe the enzymes that control the number of supercoils present in the E. coli chromosome. How much would you have to reduce the linking number to increase the number of supercoils by five?
It was once thought that the DNA polymerase machinery moves along DNA in a manner analogous to a train on a track. Current evidence indicates that the polymerizing machinery is instead stationary and that the DNA strands are pumped through the complex. What advantages does this stationary mechanism have?
Is it unusual that the β-subunits of DNA polymerase III that form a sliding clamp along the DNA do not contain the active site for the polymerization reaction? Explain your answer.
Note that the table provided shows a ligation using a molar ratio of 1:3 vector to insert. Write out the complete recipe for a 5:1 insert: vector ligation reaction, including the volumes of insert and vector you calculated above, and the volumes required for a 20 uL reaction: Ligase buffer Nuclease-free water T4 DNA ligase
