Chapter 25, Problem 5E
Summary Introduction

To explain: The reason why it is important for DNA polymerase to accommodate an A-type helix.

Introduction: DNA polymerase is a key enzyme that participates in the DNA replication processes. There are five different types of polymerase enzyme included in prokaryotes with different activities. The major step of DNA replication is the initiation of DNA synthesis. To synthesize DNA without error, a primer dependent DNA polymerase activity is utilized. DNA recognizes the DNA-RNA hybrid region in the double helix for extension of replication. A-DNA resembles the structure of DNA-RNA hybrid that is required for the polymerase enzyme to function.

Draw a diagram to demonstrate 3' to 5' exonuclease activity?
1. Write the piece of mRNA that would code for the amino acid sequence NH3 - met - tyr - cys- his- CO2.  Label the 5' and 3' ends. (diagram attached)  2.
You were tasked with purifying an untagged transcription factor (molecular weight 65,000Da, isoelectric point unknown) from a contaminant Protein A (molecular weight 50,000 Da, isoelectric point 5.0). You were also instructed to use the protein for crystallization studies after purification.i) In the initial purification step, which type of chromatography should you attempt? Explain your choice and specify the requirements of the buffer solution you should use. ii) Analyzing the proteins recovered from step i) using SDS-PAGE, you still observed a faint band of Protein A in addition to the transcription factor band. Given the limited time available for further purification, you must choose ONE appropriate chromatography method to maximize the chances of separating the two proteins as well as your crystallization studies. Provide a detailed explanation of your selection and the techniques/strategies you would employ to achieve this.
