Q

What does gyrase do

A

Type of topoisomerase
Relaxes the dna strands and stops them from coiling up and then rejoins the strands. It’s behind the replication fork

Q

What does DNA pol. III do

A

Catalyzed dna synthesis. Extends existing dna strand but cannot start a new one

5-3

17
Q

Leading stand and laggin strand

A

Leading strand is the strand synthesized from the top 5-3 template strand

The laggin strand is the strand made from the bottom 3-5 template

18
Q

Dna pol 1

A

Removes the rna primer and fills gap left behind

19
Q

Dna ligase

A

Connects the Okazaki fragments

20
Q

Rna polymerase

A

Makes the rna primer which is the starting pint for dna pol

21
Q

Dna ligase makes what type of bond

A

Phosphodiester bond

22
Q

What is PCr (polymerase chain rxn)

A

A way to amplify a piece of dna (double helix)

Make a billion of the same dna

23
Q

What does you need for PCr

A
  1. Template dna: Extract all dna (genomic dna) and analyze small portion of a gene in the dna
  2. Design dna primers that have a free oh group that bind to the region of the gene you’re looking at
    Need a forwards primer (complementary to bottom template strand) need reverse primer( reverse complement to top template strand)
  3. Need dntps (agtc)
  4. Tac polymerase: type of dna pol to synthesis the dna, best polymerase for PCr
24
Q

What happens in PCr

A
  1. Heating at 95 degrees, denatures h bond and separates the two strands
  2. Cooling and 55-66 degrees. Anneals the primers to their location on the template dna
    3.heat to 72 degrees, synthesis, taq pol adds to 3’ end of Top and bottom primers
    All these step repeated over and over to amplify and make billion copies
25
What determines the corrects annealing temp in PCr
The melting temp of the primer The melting temp is the temp where 50% of primers are are bound to dna and 50% aren’t
26
What determines the melting temp of the primer
The amount of gc More gc higher melting temp Length of the primer, longer higher melting temp
27
The aneealing temp should be ______ than the melting temp
Lower To encourage binding
28
What is gel electrophoresis
A method to separate the dna molecules based on their size. Use el tric field to move the dna through the gel To check if PCr amplified a region of the the size we wanted
29
Why is gel electrophoresis negative and positive charge
Since dna is negative charge, they will travel towards postive charge at the bottom of the gel. Negative charge is at the wells
30
Why do we stain the dna in gel electrophoresis
To see the dna in the gel, dna is colourless so we add colour the fluorescence under uv
31
What is the molecular ladder
Had dna prices of known sizes that determin size of the PCr dna
32
Why do we use taq pol in PCr
Active at high temps and remains active
