3' end of dna with hydroxyl group
unmethylated, newly synthesized string is recognized, mismatched nucleotides are removed, and the gap is filled and resealed mismatch repair
Glycogen debranching enzyme: Removes glycogen's branches, thereby making additional glucose residues accessible to glycogen phosphorylase.
removal of N- or C- terminal pro-peptides from zymogens to generate mature proteins trimming
Termination stop codon enters a site. complete protein is released from ribosome. protein is dislocated. empty trna occupies E site
occupies P site trna containing growing peptide chain
attachment of ubiquitin to defective proteins to tag them for breakdown proteosomal degradation

What is TPP? An essential cofactor of Pyruvate decarboxylase. Binds tightly but noncovalently.
Phosphorylase Kinase.... Is activated by Ca2+ and the phosphorylation of its Alpha and Beta subunits by PKA.
Acetyl CoA's ____ bond is high in energy. Thioester.
released when mrna and ribosomal subunit assemble with the complex IF initiation factor
initial transcript before rna processing is called.... hnRNA (heterogeneous nuclear RNA)
intermediate formed to spliceosome lariat-shaped intermediate that is released to remove introns and join 2 exons
different exons can be combined to make unique proteins in different tissues alternative splicing

In an erythrocyte undergoing glycolysis, what will be the effect of sudden increase in concetration of Citrate? Citrate will inhibit glycolysis (PFK)
When glucose is plentiful....... Insulin stimulate glucose uptake and glycogen synthesis in muscle cells.
location of anticodon in middle loop - opposite 3' end
less condensed: heterochromatin or euchromatin euchromatin - heterochromatin is more condensed
steps in splicing (3) 1. primary transcript combines with snRNPs to form spliceosome 2. lariat-shaped intermediate is generated 3. lariat is released to remove introns and join 2 exons
The conversion of pyruvate into phosphoenolpyruvate by: Pyruvate carboxylase and PEP carboxykinase.
Step #2 pyruvate dehydrogenase complex: 2) The hydroxyethyle group is transferred to the next enzyme, (E2) which contains a lipoamide group. The hydroxyethyl group derived from pyruvate attacks the lipoamide disulfide, and TPP is eliminated.
