Rapid Review 3 Flashcards
(237 cards)
what kind of bonds hold pairs of complementary bases between DNA strands together?
hydrogen bonds
in ONE strand of DNA, what holds the base pairs together sequentially?
3’,5’-phosphodiester bonds
a phosphate group links the 3’ carbon from one sugar to the 5’ carbon of the next sugar
which 2 base pairs have THREE bonds between them when matched up?
and what kind of bond is it?
C & G have 3 hydrogen bonds between them
which 2 base pairs have TWO bonds between them when matched up?
and what kind of bond is it?
A & T have 2 hydrogen bonds between them
which bases are purines?
adenine & guanine
(PURAG)
which bases are pyrimidines?
cytosine
thymine
uracil
(CUTPY)
which bases have 2 rings?
purines - adenine & guanine (PURAG)
(2 pur for this world)
which bases have 1 ring?
pyrimidines
cytosine, thymine, uracil (CUTPY)
(you only need 1 slice of py at a time)
how can you tell adenine & guanine apart?
guanine has a double bonded O (carbonyl group) off the 6C ring
how can you tell cytosine/thymine/uracil apart?
cytosine has one carbonyl (=O) and one NH2 group
thymine has 2 carbonyls (=O) and one methyl arm
uracil has 2 carbonyls (=O)
(the carbonyl =O that they all have is between the Ns in the pyrimidine ring)
what’s ISO 15189:2007
“medical laboratories - particular requirements for quality & competence”
set of standards to promote technical competence and reliability
applies to clin labs, blood banks, HPC labs
true/total turnaround time starts at *** and ends at ***
starts at order time
ends at physician notification time
this measures all pre-, intra-, and post-analytical portions of TAT
which tumor marker is related to the Lewis blood antigen?
CA 19-9
Le- patients (black pts) don’t make Lewis and also don’t make CA 19-9
what does a western blot look at?
proteins
(they eat beef in the west)
what does a Northern blot look at?
RNA
noRth = Rna
what does a Southern blot look at?
DNA
(because they share a lot of DNA in the south)
what is the most common quantitative method to measure sweat chloride in suspected CF patients?
coulometric titration procedure
(Cl ions in sample react with silver ions from a silver electrode –> AgCl)
what do you need to know about the Jaffe reaction
measure rxn rate between 20-60 seconds (this is when Creatinine specifically reacts with picric acid)
Cr + picric acid in alkaline solution > orange-red complex > measure @ 520 nm
what should you use instead of GFR if your patient is 3 months old or younger?
cystatin C
(better indicator of renal fxn)
toxicity with WHAT presents like a pheochromocytoma?
mercury
think of the mad hatter: hypertension, tachycardia, pruritis, desquamating rash on palms, poor muscle tone
what’s the mutation in Wilson disease
ATP7B mut
autosomal recessive
ANA testing
what does Sjogren look like?
nucleolar pattern
few large dots

ANA testing
what does lupus look like?
diagnostic: rim/outline/peripheral
but can also be homogeneous
these are both c/w dsDNA

ANA testing
what does CREST look like?
centromere
(crest centromere)
