- Single-stranded binding proteins (SSBPs) bind to single-stranded DNA at the replication fork and prevent formation of short hairpin sequences that would otherwise impede DNA synthesis. What sorts of sequences in single-stranded DNA might be able to form a hairpin? Write out an example of a sequence that could form a 5-nucleotide hairpin loop, and draw it.arrow_forwardIn the DNA double-helix structure, the larger of the two grooves formed by the helical twist where certain base pairs are exposed is called the:arrow_forwardA DNA strand was sequenced using the Sanger method (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTstRrDTmWI). The reaction tube contained the DNA strand, fluorescently labelled dideoxynucleotide triphosphates (ddATP – yellow, ddGTP – green, ddCTP – blue, ddTTP - red), deoxynucleotide triphosphates, DNA polymerase, or its Klenow fragment. Synthesis of DNA is allowed to proceed, and the results are shown on the right: 15 14 13 12 11 10 (a) What is the sequence of the copy and the template strands?

- The two sides of the DNA double helix are connected by pairs of bases (adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine). Because of the geometric shape of these molecules, adenine bonds with thymine and cytosine bonds with guanine. The figure (Figure 1) shows the thymine-adenine bond. Each charge shown is ±e, and the H−N distance is 0.110 nm . Calculate the net force that thymine exerts on adenine. To keep the calculations fairly simple, yet reasonable, consider only the forces due to the O−H−N and the N−H−N combinations, assuming that these two combinations are parallel to each other. Remember, however, that in the O−H−N set, the O− exerts a force on both the H+ and the N−, and likewise along the N−H−N set. Express your answer in newtons. Is the net force attractive or repulsive?arrow_forwardDraw the structure of deoxyribose and number the carbon atoms.Describe the numbering of the carbon atoms in deoxyribose withregard to the directionality of a DNA strand.
