Exp: Molecular Modeling - newman projection: staggered - newman projection: eclipsed - Newman Projection Conformations and their relative energies [draw a graph] - The gauche conformation of butane occurs when the dihedral angle between at the C1-C2 and C3-C4 is 60 degrees. There is sterric strain in the molecule due the proximity of the two methyl groups. Would the sterric strain in this molecule increase OR decrease C1-C2-C3 [and C2-C3-24] bond angle was increased to more than 109.5...

Why do helicase and gyrase need to work together? correct answers Helicase unwinds DNA and gyrase relieves the torsional strain. Match the name of the DNA repair mechanism with the correct description. Functions with DNA replication to remove incorrect nucleotides from the nascent strand. Requires an endonuclease to remove an abasic nucleotide before DNA Pol I can replace a portion of the strand. Is needed to repair chemical damage in DNA effecting more than one nucleotide, such as c...

Genetics Final Exam Questions and Correct Answers (Verified by Expert) 1 / 24 1. What is the function of single-strand-binding proteins? A. unwind the double helix by breaking hydrogen bonding between the two strands at the replication fork B. bind to oriC and cause a short section of DNA to unwind C. connect Okazaki fragments by sealing nicks in the sugar-phosphate backbone D. prevent the formation of secondary structures within single-stranded DNA E. reduce the torsional strain that bu...

DNA Replication Written Exam . DNA replication steps 1) Helicase- unwinds the parental double helix 2) DNA topoisomerase - upstream of helices alleviating torsional strain 3) Single-strand binding proteins (SSBP) stabilize unwound DNA, aided by DNA gyrase (topoisomerase). 4) Primase synthesizes a short RNA primer for DNA polymerase to bind to in the 5' to 3' direction to start replication on each strand. 5) DNA polymerase synthesizes the leading strand in 5' to 3' direction...
