Termination

... mRNA are known in some cases to play a role in: A. Regulated mRNA degradation. B. Transcription initiation. C. Assembly of ribosomes. D. Termination of translation. I don't think it's A or C. However, I thought the 5' UTR helped with initiation, and I thought the poly-A tail helped with ...

... detector to "sense the color of each fluorescent tag" (pg. 397) - the same procedure of identifying the tags as the dideoxy Cain-Termination Method for sequencing DNA. Wouldn't that also work????? (2) - How to scientists synthesize the ddC, ddG, ddA, or ddT (I mean how do they ...

thanks MrMistery! :D Just one question: then how does the laser and detector in the current dideoxy chain-termination method for sequencing DNA detect whether the dideoxy nucleotide is actually adenine, thymine, cytosine, or guanine if the laser can't detect the color of the ...

thewax, That is a legitimate question. You need to understand that in the chain termination method, after doing the amplification in the presence of ddNTPs you separate the molecules by size by electrophoresis. The electrophoresis is sensible enough to separate ...
