80
quinolones interfere with......topoisomerases like
DNA gyrase
81
DNA gyrase
runs ahead of replication machinary
cuts into DNA double strands,
unwinding strands to relieve supercoil
re-ligating the double strands back together
82
how do quinolone's interfere w/replication
bind to DNA gyrase after the cut is made,
preventing DNA gyrase from repairing the cut
replication machinery then collides with stalled gyrase, results in cell death

90

SOS response
job is to lay down nucleotides and prevent cell death
91
ter
= terminus of replication
location where replication forks converge
92
replication fork traps

allow replication fork to enter but not leave
prevent collision and regulate termination

GC skew
102
oriC: skew changes from...to..
C to G
up to down
103
terC: skew changes from...to...
G to C
down to up
104
Mutational Theory
cytosine is not preferred in leading strain because of spontaneous deamination of C---> T
coding strand is single stranded more often than template strand = thus vulnerable to C--->T mutation
105
Codon Bias Theory
in prokaryotes, G is more common in the +3 (wobble) position of codons than C
this results in more G's on the leading strand
