Definition 1 of 135
DNA Helicase uses energy from ATP hydrolysis to unwind DNA. It binds to the ori before
Primase does. The single strand binding proteins are inserted into the open strand so that it
doesn't rewind into the double helix shape.
A PCR mixture contains:
DNA Helicase and single-strand binding proteins
translation elongation
Unique feature of transcription in eukaryotic genes
Definition 2 of 135
electrical charge difference across a membrane due to a balance between the tendency of K+
ions to diffuse down their concentration gradient and the electric potential that holds them
back.
Membrane potential
Rosalind Franklin
Action Potentials
Action Potential Self Regeneration
Definition 3 of 135
proteins that bind to DNA sequences and to RNA polymerase. They help direct the polymerase
onto the promoter.
What does DNA need to replicate in a test tube?

,Definition 8 of 135
Translation ends when a stop codon enters the A site. A protein release factor hydrolyzes the
bond between the polypeptide and the tRNA in the P site. The polypeptide then separates
from the ribosome.
translation termination

Cells that are continuously diving have an enzyme called telomerase which catalyzes addition
of the lost telomeres. (its expressed in most cancer cells and is a target for anti-cancer drugs).
