The two who got credit for the current DNA structure
Who is Watson and Crick?
Unwinds the DNA
what is Helicase?
Enzyme involved in RNA synthesis
What is RNA polymerase?
The RNA directed synthesis of a protein
What is translation?
Important segments of RNA in the nucleus combined with proteins in the spicesome.
What is snRNA?
Bacteriologist who did first transformation with S. pneumoniae in mice (S and R forms)
Dr. Fred Griffiths
The Region in RNA Initiation complex
What is the promotor sequence? (TATA box)
Direction that both polymerases (DNA and RNA) move.
what is 3' to 5'?
The amino acid that all proteins must begin with.
What is methionine (AUG)?
A base pair substitution resulting in a changed amino acid.
What is a missense substitution?
Person who produced crystal structure that determined DNA structure
Who is Rosalind Franklin?
In DNA replication, they hold the DNA strands apart
What are Single Strand Binding Proteins (SSBP)?
The problem with elongation of the lagging strand.
What is it must be synthesized discontinuously because it is antiparallel
The site where all activated t-RNA enter in a ribosome.
What is the "A" (aminoacyl-tRNA binding) site?
segment of DNA cut out by nuclease and refilled by DNA polymerase
What is excision repair?
Chemist who identified that A=T and C=G
Who is Edwin Chargoff?
The large protein complex that actually makes the DNA in replication
What is DNA polymerase 3?
The enzyme responsible for annealing together the discontinuous sections of DNA
What is ligase?
Signals the ribosome to terminate the translation process.
what is a "stop" codon?
Section of DNA containing repeating area of Adenine and Thymine (A & T).
What is a TATA box?
Removed nucei and found chemical he called "nuclein"
Who is Mieschner?
Small proteins that bind to the DNA in transcription during initiation.
What are transcription factors?
The section at the end of the reading frame coding for RNA.
What is the termination sequence?
The enzyme responsible for attaching the amino acid to the tRNA
What is aminoacyl tRNA synthetase?
A base pair deletion or insertion into a sequence.
What is a frameshift mutation?
