DNA and Protein Synthesis Flashcards
Dna replicatio has 3 steps
- initiation
- elongation
- termination
what is ORC
Origin recognition complex - similar to Ecoli
recognizes the origin
replication element on the replication sequences
Helicase
facilitates the unwinding of the double stranded DNA to single. replication fork
What is MCM
Mini chromosome maintenance complex
Is MCM a type of Helicase. Yes or No
Yes, it is a type of helicase
What is RPA
Replication protein A- Single stranded binding protein
what is reanneal
To convert (nucleic acid) from a single-stranded to a double-stranded form, especially after denaturation.
What is the function of RPA
prevents the strand of the dna to reaneal
an enzyme that adds a stretch of RNA molecules that assits in polymerazation
Primase
DNA polymerase
replicative enzyme DNA dependent/ uses dna as template to make double stranded dna molecule
Does DNA polymarase check if correct base parining is occuring
YEs
what is the main replicative enzyme
DNA polymerase Delta
Ligase
enzyme that forms 2 DNA fragmets by catalyzing the formation of ester bonds
Enzymes and Proteins for RNA production
RNA Polymerase
is tha carrier of the genetic code
MRNA
is a collection of codons
Genetic code
this is the Start codon
AUG
for 20 AA there should be
20 Codon
how many nucleotides are there in 1 codon
3
Usually stop codons
UAA
TRNA is sometimes called
adapter molecule
2 important site of Trna
Amino acid attachment
anti codon
convertion of necleotide to MRNA
translation
components of Translation
Ribosomes
Trna
