What catalyzes the linking together of nucleotide subunits?
DNA Polymerases
What type of chemical reactions do ligasis catalyze?
Assuming you mean "ligases," a ligase is an enzyme that catalyzes the formation of a chemical bond between two smaller molecules to form a larger one. The most common example is DNA ligase, which joins DNA strands together. This occurs on the lagging strand of DNA synthesis where synthesis occurs in short Okazaki fragments. These fragments are joined together by ligase, which acts to "seal the nicks" forming one continuous strand of DNA.
What is the function of RNA polymerase?
RNA polymerase is an enzyme that catalyzes transcription.
What are the jobs of each of the enzymes in replication?
Dna ligase -the enzyme which stitches them together into a single ,unfragmented daughter molecule is called dna ligas. Dna helicases-opening of the dna double helix ahead of the replication fork. Rna primase-synthesis of rna primers for dna chain elongation,the enzyme is a component of primosomes. Dna polymerase-dna replication is more accurately described as polymerization.the enzyme which catalyzes this polymerization is called,dna polymerase. Submit by anupriyachatterjee.
What would be the consequence for DNA synthesis if DNA ligase were defective?
Lagging strand synthesis would be incomplete; leading strand synthesis would be unaffected.
The enzyme that catalyzes DNA synthesis add nucleotides to the DNA molecule is called?
Primase
What molecule catalyzes covalent bond formation between DNA?
DNA ligase
What enzyme catalyzes the attachment of an amino acid to tRNA?
The enzyme that catalyzes the attachment of an amino acid to tRNA is aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase.
Another term for DNA synthesis?
DNA synthesis is also known as DNA replication.
What catalyzes the linking together of nucleotide subunits?
DNA Polymerases
Which enzymes catalyzes the elongation of a new DNA strand?
DNA polymerase catalyzes the reactions that are responsible for synthesizing new DNA strands in the 5' to 3' direction. The parent DNA strand is read in the 3' to 5' direction but the daughter strand is extended in the opposite direction.
Why is DNA polymerase a machine?
A DNA polymerase is an enzyme that catalyzes the polymerization of deoxyribonucleotides into a DNA strand. See info at LINK.
What is a following reactions that is used to radioactively label DNA?
Synthesis of new DNA.
What is the DNA process?
DNA synthesis or DNA replication
Based on the function of dna polymerase explain why each part of the name dna polymerase make sense?
means it's an enzyme - so it catalyzes a chemical reaction polymer- means it catalyzes the formation of a polymer DNA- means the polymer whose formation it catalyzes is DNA - DNA is a polynucleotide (a polymer of nucleotides, a million nucleotides strung together)
When DNA cynthesis occures?
Within the Cell cycle, Dna synthesis occurs during the S [synthesis] phase.
