This bond is the most stable in water.
What are covalent bonds?
Direction DNA is synthesized.
What is 5' to 3'?
Energy for movement
What is RNA polymerase?
The idea that we get one old and one new strand of DNA
What is the semi-conservative model?
This process cannot act alone
What are endergonic reactions?
The probability that the son of parents who are both carriers will express the trait.
Proteins that prevent the two strands from reconnecting during replication.
What are single-strand binding proteins?
Every time energy is transferred or transformed, some of it gets less useful for doing work
Adding a methyl group to the histone tails in epigenetic regulation to either open or condense chromatin.
What is methylating?
DNA replication happens in this stage of the cell cycle.
What is S phase?
Equation for Gibbs Free Energy
What is the change in enthalpy minus temperature times the change in entropy?
What is a receptor kinase? What is phosphorylation?
The DNA is being unwound from the 5'-3' end on this single strand of the double helix. The DNA polymerase is attached to the 5' end, but we know that the new DNA strand is synthesized 5'-3'. (1) Thus, DNA creates these strands to still synthesize from 5'-3'. (2) These proteins connect these strands.
What is the lagging strand? What is DNA ligase?
Two ways exergonic reactions can get past the awkward hill of the transition state.
What are enzymes? What is coupling with another exergonic reaction?
