Chapter 4, Problem 22P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The primer that can be used when a reverse transcriptase activity is supposed to be assayed where polyriboadenylate is in the template needs to be determined. Also, the radioactive nucleotide that is to be used to follow chain elongation needs to be determined.

Concept introduction:

Primer is a single strand of nucleic acid. It is utilized by all the living organisms for the synthesis of DNA. The primers are removed before completion of DNA replication and DNA polymerases fill the gaps in the sequence with DNA. Scientists in the laboratory can design and synthesize DNA primers with particular sequences in a single-stranded DNA molecule that bind to DNA.

In order to perform the polymerase chain reaction, these DNA primres are commonly used to copy pieces. Shellac primers based on oil, latex and pigmented are three different types of primers

Biochemistry Question. Please help solve. Thank you! Based upon knowledge of oxidation of bioorganic compounds and howmuch energy is released during their oxidation, rank the following, from most to least, with respect to how much energy would be produced from each during their oxidation. Explain your placement for each one.
Biochemistry Question.For the metabolism of amino acids what is the first step for theirbreakdown? Why is it necessary for this breakdown product to be transported to the liver? For the catabolism of the carbon backbone of these amino acids, there are 7 entry points into the “standard” metabolic pathways. List these 7 entry points and which amino acids are metabolized to these entry points. Please help. Thank you!
Biochemistry Question. Please help. Thank you.   You are studying pyruvate utilization in mammals for ATP production under aerobic conditions and have synthesized pyruvate with Carbon #1 labelled with radioactive C14.   After only one complete cycle of the TCA cycle, which of the TCA cycle intermediates would be labeled with C14? Explain your answer.   Interestingly, you find C14 being excreted in the urine. How does it get there?
