(a)
To determine: Turns of the double helix that must be unwound during replication of the E.coli chromosome if total base pairs in E.coli are 4,641,652 bp.
Introduction:
Replication model of DNA is semi-conservative where one strand in the next generation has a light band labeling and one strand has a dark band labeling of N-14 and N-15 atoms respectively.
(b)
To determine: Time taken to replicate the E.coli chromosome at 37°C, if two replication forks proceeded from origin. It is assumed that replication occurs at a rate of 1000 bp/sec with assumption that E.coli cells divide every 20 min.
Introduction:
Replication forks are formed during the stage of synthesis of DNA. It involves the bi-directional method of replication of DNA with formation of a leading and a lagging strand of DNA.
(c1)
To determine: The number of Okazaki fragments formed after replication of E.coli.
Introduction:
Okazaki fragments are small
(c2)
To determine: The factors that determine the numerous Okazaki fragments are assembled in the correct order in the new DNA.
Introduction:
The process of

- The following data were recorded for the enzyme catalyzed conversion of S -> P Question: what would the rate be at 5.0 x 10-5 M [S] and the enzyme concentration was doubled? Also, the rate given in the table is from product accumulation after 10 minuets of reaction time. Verify these rates represent a true initial rate (less than 5% turnover). Please helparrow_forwardThe following data was obtained on isocitrate lyase from an algal species. Identify the reaction catalyzed by this enzyme, deduce the KM and Vmax , and determine the nature of the inhibition by oxaloacetate. Please helparrow_forwardIn the table below, there are sketches of four crystals made of positively-charged cations and negatively-charged anions. Rank these crystals in decreasing order of stability (or equivalently increasing order of energy). That is, select "1" below the most stable (lowest energy) crystal. Select "2" below the next most stable (next lowest energy) crystal, and so forth. A B 鹽 (Choose one) +2 C +2 +2 (Choose one) D 鹽雞 (Choose one) (Choose one)arrow_forward
