What are restriciton enzymes used for
cut dsDNA at specific points
restriction enzymes requirements
palindromic sequence
palindromic sequence
A palindromic sequence is a nucleic acid sequence in a double-stranded DNA or RNA molecule whereby reading in a certain direction (e.g. 5’ to 3’) on one strand is identical to the sequence in the same direction (e.g. 5’ to 3’) on the complementary strand.
Endonucleases
break up the phosphodiester bond in the middle of DNA –> restriction enzymes
Exonucleases
cleave phosphosiester bonds at the ends of a DNA strand
Acyltransferase
transfer acyl chains
Kinase
tranfer phosphate groups
restriction enzymes cleavage types
sticky ends and blunt ends
Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism
refer to the different lengths of nucleotides following restriction enzyme digestion
origin of restriction enzymes
bacteria use restriction enzyme to protect against foreign genetic material
What type of reaction is peptide bond formation
condensation
produces H2O as a byproduct
rate limiting enzyme of the pentose phosphate pathway
glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase
uncompetitive inhibititors affect of Km and Vmax
reduced, reduced
mixed inhibitors affect on Km and Vmax
Km may increase or decrease
Vmax reduces
noncompetitive binding
allosteric and active site
mixed binding
allosteric and active site
competitive binding
active site
inhibitor in an unchanged ratio of Vmax/Km
uncompetitive
breakdown of glycogen to monomeric form
glycogen phosphoylase
glycogen to glucose
Amylose branching
is not branched
amylopectin branching
is branched
how branching affects release of monomers
easier
bond that makes up cellulose
beta-1,4-glycosidic bond
starch in plants
storage for glucose
