Concept explainers
(a)
To determine: The number of different RNA sequences that exist in a randomized pool that has every sequence possible.
Introduction:
SELEX means systematic evolution of ligand by exponential enrichment. It is a combinatorial chemistry method that is used to produce either single-stranded DNA or RNA, which will bind to the specific ligands. It is also known as a method of selecting aptamers from random oligonucleotide sequences.
(b)
To determine: The percentage of genes that can be screened in a SELEX experiment.
Introduction:
SELEX means systematic evolution of ligand by exponential enrichment. It is a combinatorial chemistry method that is used to produce either single-stranded DNA or RNA, which will bind to the specific ligands.
(c)
To determine: The SELEX strategy that will allow the selection of appropriate catalyst.
