32
Q

target in strand displacement amplification si

A

33
Q

DNApolymerase will elongate the

A

dATPase

34
Q

two stages to SDA process

A

◆ Target Generation Phase
◆ Exponential Probe or Target Amplification Phase

35
Q

Target DNA is denatured by heating to ______°C

A

95

36
Q

which stage of SDA is this

A

at each stage end of the target sequence, a primer and a probe bind close to each other

37
Q

the probe will have a site or a recognition sequence specific for ___

A

restriction enzyme

38
Q

the modified nucleotide (dATPas) will be elongated and the ____ will extend the primers incorporating to a modified nucleotide

A

Exonuclease-deficient DNA polymerase derived from E. coli

39

a stage of SDA in which the product of this amplification is millions of copies of the initial probe

A

exponential probe/target amplification phase

40

41
Q

In SDA, addition of a ___ to the reaction produces a fluorescent signal that corresponds to the amount of amplified target

42
Q

method for amplifying probes that have specificity for a target sequence

A

QB replicase

43
Q

QB replicase is named for the major enzyme that is used to amplify probe sequences

true or false

A

true

44
Q

the RNA dependent RNA polymerase/ QB replicase came from

A

bacteriophage QB

45
Q

2 types of probes that is used by QB replicase

A

capture probes

46
Q

4 steps of QB replicase methodology

A

hybridization, capture, wash, and release

47
Q

how many hybridization procedure are done in QB replicase

A

2 hybridization

48
Q

steps in QB REPLICASE

A

capture probe A - will capture target RNA in hybridization connected to magnetic bead. Upon connecting to magnetic bead, it will under go capture, washing, and release. Once release, it will go under hybridization again using capture B. Will under go capture, washing, and release again.

It will become purified reported probe, this reporter probe will be act upon by the QB replicase enzyme in order to amplify or target this reporter probe.

These reporter probe will have the specificity for the target sequence because of the so called MIDVARIANT 1
