How many strands make up a DNA structure? In a human cell, how many strands of DNA will there be before and after DNA replication? How many nucleotides are there in human DNA? How many strands of DNA are found in somatic cells?
Show how uracil can form strong hydrogen bonds to adenine, just as thymine can. Describe the complementary base pairing between the two individual strands of DNA that forms the overall double-helical structure. If one strand of a DNA double helix ...
The method of Matsumoto and Ohta [Matsumoto, K. & Ohta, T. (1992) Chromosoma 102, 60-65; Matsumoto, K. & Ohta, T. (1995) Mutat. Res. 326, 93-98] to induce large numbers of endoreduplicated Chinese hamster ovary cells has now been coupled with the fluorescence-plus-Giemsa method of...
In any organism in nature, genomic DNA is composed of two strands which in turn are composed of four deoxynucleotides bridged by a phosphodiesteric bond between the 5′-phosphate and the 3′-oxygen of two adjacent ribose moieties. From: Reference Module in Biomedical Sciences, 2017 ...

Although considerable effort has been made to understand the functions of DNA helicases that are important for genomic stability and cellular homeostasis, the complexity of the DNA damage response leaves us with unanswered questions regarding how helicase-dependent DNA repair pathways are regulated and ...
DNA ligases catalyze the formation of a phosphodiester bond between DNA single strands in the duplex form (Fig. 2.1). The covalent linkage of the 5′-P group of one chain with the adjacent 3′-OH group of another is coupled with the pyrophosphate hydrolysis of the cofactor ATP or NAD. Ba...
A DNA repair pathway that repairs lesions where both DNA strands are broken. There are two major pathways of DSB repair; homologous recombination uses sister chromatid as a template for repair and non-homologous DNA end joining ligates the broken ends without regard for homology. Defects in DNA...
The two strands of Watson and Crick’s double helix were antiparallel; that is, the nucleotides were arranged in opposite orientation. This can be visualized if the L shape of a nucleotide is imagined to be a sock: the neck of the sock is the nitrogenous base, the toe is the phosphate ...
DNA helicasesandnucleasesare keyenzymesinDNA recombination. The molecular function of many of them has been identified, and their biochemical activities described. Individual helicases and nucleases play multiple roles during recombination, and the same step of recombination can be catalyzed by different...
