chat transcript - biochemistry (mol. bio.)

21:22:54 [Step_1] in which phase does dna synthesis take place?

21:23:01 [acestep1] k

21:23:09 [acestep1] s phase

21:23:10 [crusher] S phase?

21:23:14 [DrMG] s phase

21:23:18 [Lorena] S

21:23:23 [Rahat3256] s phase

21:23:28 [Step_1] yes very good....off to a good start

21:23:32 [yamini] s phase

21:23:42 [acestep1]

21:24:09 [Step_1] which nucleic acids have 2 hydrogen and which have 3 hydrogen bonds

21:24:28 [DrMG] adenine and thiamine =2

21:24:32 [yamini] A

21:24:34 [DrMG] guanine and cystein = 3

21:24:39 [yamini] SORRY

21:24:47 kokushubila enters this room

21:24:55 [acestep1] agree with dr G

21:24:56 [Step_1] sorry, i meant the pairs like drmg said

21:25:00 [Lorena] C and G have 3

21:25:12 [yamini] A=T

21:25:16 [acestep1] np

21:25:26 [DrMG] am i allowed to ask questions too?

21:25:29 [crusher] AT and CG

21:25:35 [Step_1] yes, please do

21:25:43 [DrMG] k

21:25:43 [acestep1] sure

21:25:48 [yamini] C&G

21:25:49 [Step_1] yes crusher

21:25:51 [zeda] if cytosine is deaminated then what will be the result?

21:25:57 [acestep1] oops imean

21:25:57 [Lorena] yes, the more questions the better

21:26:05 [crusher] every one ask Q.or give ans.or just observe,right lorena/step1

21:26:06 [DrMG] tell me the chromatin structure

21:26:06 [Rahat3256] what will happen if we methylate the uracil

21:26:08 [acestep1] uracil

21:26:14 [Step_1] AT is 2 hydrogen bonds and GC has 3

21:26:15 [yamini] URACIL

21:26:19 [zeda] yes

21:26:24 [Lorena] we'll have uracil

21:26:30 [Step_1] thats right crusher

21:26:31 [Rahat3256] uracil tozeda 's answer

21:26:45 [acestep1] hey DrG didnt get u

21:26:49 [zeda] ok

21:26:49 [jnewdoc2b] URACIL BECOMES THYMINE

21:26:50 [Step_1] you will get thymine

21:26:52 [DrMG] i meant

21:26:55 [acestep1] u asking abt histones etc ?

21:27:04 [DrMG] what is makeup of a chromatin

21:27:06 [DrMG] like

21:27:14 [DrMG] i will give u the first answer

21:27:22 [DrMG] H2A

21:27:29 [DrMG] yes

21:27:32 [acestep1] k

21:27:37 [crusher] histone prories rapped around nucleosm.It can be combo of H2 H3 H4 (octamer) or H1 h2 H3 H4(condense)

21:27:51 [Step_1] drmg, can you use a brighter font color from the rainbow on the right....its hard to read the black

21:28:00 [acestep1] nono crusaher

21:28:04 [DrMG] a nucleosome is the histone

21:28:08 [DrMG] right?

21:28:17 [DrMG] k

21:28:32 [acestep1] h2,h3h4 octomer

21:28:33 [Step_1] H2A, H2B, H3, H4 histones

21:28:35 [zeda] ok,now very basic thing

21:28:35 [DrMG] ok

21:28:37 [DrMG] tell me

21:28:42 [DrMG] what is the charge of the histone

21:28:43 [acestep1] yes agree with step1

21:28:57 [yamini] POSITIVE

21:28:58 [zeda] correct writing of DNA sequence is always in...?

21:28:59 [acestep1] thsi is euchromatin - 10 nm

21:29:01 [DrMG] and the charge of dna

21:29:13 [DrMG] 5' - 3'

21:29:17 [crusher] 5-3

21:29:19 [Step_1] positive chare at physiologic ph

21:29:23 [acestep1] -ve

21:29:33 [zeda] yes

21:29:33 [acestep1] yes agree with crusher

21:29:50 [crusher] without H1 is 10nm and with H1 is 30 nm.

21:29:50 [zeda] 5' ( lt. side ) and 3'( rt. side)

21:30:03 [DrMG] dna = neg histone = pos

21:30:05 [acestep1] yes agree

21:30:07 [crusher] 7

21:30:09 [Step_1] sorry my ans was pos for the previous question, not for dna

21:30:09 [Roxanita] ok, back

21:30:14 [DrMG] what do u call the inactive chromatin

21:30:24 [Rahat3256] i will be back in 5 mins

21:30:32 [acestep1] 30nm

21:30:33 [yamini] HETEROCHROMATIN

21:30:35 [Lorena] heterochromatin

21:30:40 [acestep1] k rahat

21:30:50 [acestep1] yes agree

21:30:57 [DrMG] how does it look under microscope

21:30:57 [Step_1] agree

21:31:13 [jnewdoc2b] WHAT'S INVOLVED IN THE PROCESS OF HYBRIDIZATION?

21:31:14 [yamini] dense

21:31:15 [Step_1] fibre-like

21:31:17 [acestep1] condensed i think

21:31:17 [crusher] esy

21:31:21 [DrMG] lorena u r right

21:31:25 [Lorena] and euchromatin = true= active

21:31:25 [DrMG] yes ace

21:31:31 [DrMG] u r correct

21:31:32 [acestep1] probe n target dna

21:31:35 [Step_1] tightly packed for hetero

21:31:41 [DrMG] very good lorena

21:31:43 [jnewdoc2b] YES ACE

21:31:46 [acestep1] k

21:31:47 [DrMG] and step

21:31:56 [Roxanita] Eu=True

21:32:03 [acestep1] thnx Dr

21:32:13 [DrMG]

21:32:14 [Lorena] heterochromatin looks dark under the microscope

21:32:18 [zeda] what is the difference between B-DNA and Z-DNA?

21:32:27 [DrMG] what 3 things make a nucleotide

21:32:31 [acestep1] yes agree with lorena

21:32:48 [DrMG] yes i do too

21:32:56 [Roxanita] NB + Pentose+ Phosphate Group

21:32:58 [crusher] which wone is transcriptionally active hetero or Eu?

21:33:01 [acestep1] zeda- the right handed helix - nornal

21:33:02 [Step_1] left sided for B and right for Z

21:33:02 [jnewdoc2b] B IS RIGHT HANDED AND Z IS LEFT HANDED

21:33:04 [DrMG] eu

21:33:11 [Roxanita] Nitrogenous Base= Pentose= Nucleoside

21:33:18 [DrMG] agree wuth jnew

21:33:21 [Lorena] B DNA is left handed, B DNA is right handed

21:33:21 [crusher] nucleic acid roxanita?

21:33:35 [zeda] yes,jnew

21:33:38 [jnewdoc2b] HOW MANY BP/TURN AND WHICH DIRECTION IS AN A-DNA?

21:33:41 [zeda] u r right

21:33:42 [Lorena] i meant z is left handed

21:33:44 [nne] I agree

21:33:58 [acestep1] hey listen plz go slow

21:34:03 [acestep1] hehe

21:34:15 [Lorena] yes....one question at a time please

21:34:35 [acestep1]

21:34:39 [DrMG] ok

21:34:43 [yamini] 11bp/360 right handed

21:35:01 [acestep1] hey is this imp ?

21:35:01 [Step_1] i remember that z is left handed because that is what a straight line would look like if i drew it with my left hand

21:35:08 [Roxanita] what base pairs require higher meltin point?

21:35:15 [acestep1]

21:35:20 [DrMG] guanin and cysteine

21:35:21 [jnewdoc2b] I'M NOT SURE ABOUT THE 360. I HAVE IT'S 20 DEGREES AWAY FROM A HELICAL AXIS...

21:35:23 [Roxanita] good step 1

21:35:25 [acestep1] gc

21:35:31 [DrMG] cuz they have three bonds

21:35:32 [crusher] CG

21:35:38 [Lorena] the bases wthat contain cytosin and guanin

21:35:42 [Roxanita] that's right

21:35:42 [yamini] guanine cytosine

21:35:57 [zeda] good explanation step_1.Now.....factors which can denaturate DNA?

21:35:58 [acestep1] ok my q- wht is melting pt

21:36:02 [Lorena] good point

21:36:15 [crusher] high melting point

21:36:23 [Roxanita] what type of bond do base pairs have?

21:36:36 [Lorena] UV radiation, heat, chemicals

21:36:51 [zeda] at which H-bonds get seperated is melting point

21:36:58 [acestep1] ya but temp at which 50 %bonds r broken

21:37:01 [Roxanita] it's like melting the 2ble helix into a 2 singles separate strands

21:37:03 [zeda] yes lorena

21:37:07 [crusher] H bond roxinaya?

21:37:15 [Rahat3256] yah i am back

21:37:20 [Roxanita] they use it on DNA technology

21:37:29 [Roxanita] Hydrogen Bond right

21:37:31 [Lorena] welcome back rahat

21:37:49 [acestep1] yes roxanita

21:37:54 [Rahat3256] thank you lorena

21:37:55 [acestep1]

21:38:14 [jnewdoc2b] WHICH ONE IS MORE TIGHTLY WOUNDED A POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE SUPERCOILED DNA?

21:38:22 [Lorena] Tm is at the point 50% DNA is denatured

21:38:37 [acestep1] +ve

21:38:40 [Roxanita] we already pass cell cycle.... from the question....

21:38:45 [zeda] ace..at what temp. 50% bonds r broken?

21:38:46 [acestep1] yes lorena

21:38:52 [Roxanita] which of protein sx occurs predominantly in S phase of the cell cycle?

21:38:55 [crusher] -ve

21:38:58 [yamini] positive

21:39:01 [acestep1] tht u have 2 see in teh graph

21:39:03 [Roxanita] which protein synthesis?

21:39:06 [jnewdoc2b] AGREE WITH ACE; IT'S POSITIVE

21:39:18 [Step_1] pos

21:39:25 [Lorena] replication?

21:39:32 [acestep1] k

21:39:49 [crusher] i thinkmits neg more tight

21:39:53 [Roxanita] hello...does anybody knows which protein sx occurs predominantly in S phase of the cell cycle?

21:39:55 [acestep1] yes agree with lorena

21:39:56 [Step_1] replication....agree

21:39:59 [yamini] DNA replication

21:40:13 [zeda] 58?

21:40:41 [Lorena] is that right rox?

21:40:59 [Roxanita] yup it's less than 60 c

21:41:07 [Roxanita] what answer?

21:41:17 [zeda] thanks rox

21:41:42 [Roxanita] Ok as nobody answers what is the protein sx that occurs predominantly in S phase of the cell cycle...

21:41:46 [jnewdoc2b] WHERE DO YOU SEE MULTIPILE ORIGIN OF REPLICATIONS?

21:41:54 [Roxanita] last chance....

21:42:06 [yamini] prokaryotes

21:42:07 dsa503 enters this room

21:42:09 [Lorena] tell us rox, thae answer

21:42:21 [crusher] what is the bond b/w two base sugars

21:42:26 [Rahat3256] Eukaryotes

21:42:26 [Step_1] hi dsa

21:42:27 [acestep1] yes plz rox

21:42:28 [jnewdoc2b] ACTUALLY ITS EUKARYOTES, YAMINI

21:42:35 [zeda] hey rox..change this red color...hard to read

21:42:38 [crusher] eukaroytes

21:42:43 [acestep1] yes linear dna

21:42:43 [Roxanita] guys I didn't know this on my exam

21:42:44 [Step_1] the suspense is killing me

21:42:51 [Lorena] eukaryotes have multiple originas, prokaryotes have a circular chromosome

21:43:02 [acestep1] lol - step1

21:43:13 [dsa503] hello everyone

21:43:26 [Lorena] tell us tell us tell us

21:43:32 [Step_1] GAATTC and CTTAAG. what is this referred to as?

21:43:38 [Roxanita] the answer is "HISTONE"

21:43:39 [yamini] ok jnewdoc2b

21:44:02 [Roxanita] HISTONES S Phase

21:44:17 [Rahat3256] cpmplimentary & antiparralal step

21:44:24 [zeda] ya...now nice

21:44:25 [Lorena] oh, good one rox!!

21:44:29 [Step_1] i didnt know that rox, even after i looked it up...thanks

21:44:37 [Roxanita] Remember: G1= "Growth", "Gap"

21:44:39 [zeda] nice Q

21:44:46 [Step_1] palindrome because it reads the same in the forward and reverse directions

21:44:47 [crusher] dna replication in 5-3 antiparrelel

21:45:03 [Roxanita] it was in atext book of a college in chicago

21:45:05 [acestep1] ic

21:45:08 [zeda] yes agree with crusher

21:45:19 [acestep1] oh ic

21:45:30 [acestep1] gd 1 rox

21:45:35 [crusher] plz slow down i,m not able to follow

21:45:38 [zeda] ok

21:46:05 [Rahat3256] step you were asking.......

21:46:32 [Lorena] palindrome is the asnwer to your questions step 1? i got lost

21:46:37 [Step_1] GAATTC and CTTAAG. what is this referred to as? but i already put the ans...so dont cheat if you saw it

21:46:41 [Roxanita] in what key phase the cell will make sure that none of the process have mistakes?

21:47:02 [Lorena] G1

21:47:08 [crusher] G2

21:47:12 [Roxanita] those are palindrome

21:47:14 [acestep1] g2

21:47:18 [Rahat3256] g2

21:47:27 [yamini] in which phase DNA repair takes place

21:47:36 [Roxanita] what is before Mitosis: G1 or G2...so remember

21:47:41 [yamini] G2

21:47:52 [crusher] again G2

21:47:57 [zeda] G2

21:48:03 [Rahat3256] G2

21:48:04 [Step_1] G2

21:48:08 [Roxanita] G2

21:48:10 [DrMG] which polymerase does the correction

21:48:18 [acestep1] agree

21:48:19 sweta_chandra enters this room

21:48:26 [Lorena] i'll remember that

21:48:27 [crusher] poly 1

21:48:49 [Roxanita] G2: repair of mismatches bases, yup

21:49:17 [Rahat3256] poly 1 & 3

21:49:20 [DrMG] i thought it was 111

21:49:23 [acestep1] ok wait b in eu n dna polymerase 1 for proof reading in prokary

21:49:24 [DrMG] i mean 3

21:49:32 [Step_1] repair is both G1 and G2....right?

21:49:32 [yamini] DNA REPAIR IN G1

21:49:33 [sweta_chandra] polymerase 1 does proof reading

21:49:34 [Roxanita] we are talking about the proofreading activity of DNA polymerase

21:49:40 julieog1 enters this room

21:49:45 [acestep1] oops yes dna poly 3

21:50:00 [DrMG] dna 1 removes rna primer

21:50:06 [DrMG] ?

21:50:19 [acestep1] yes

21:50:19 [crusher] poly 3 synthesis of leading and laging strand in pro

21:50:29 [DrMG] i agree with ace

21:50:33 [crusher] dna poly 1 remove Rna primer

21:50:36 [Lorena] agree with ace

21:50:50 [DrMG] it synethsize 5 -3

21:50:56 [DrMG] and proff reads 3-5

21:50:59 [acestep1]

21:51:26 [acestep1] yes syn always in 5-3 anti parallel n complentary

21:51:41 [DrMG] *proof

21:52:02 omwaseem enters this room

21:52:03 [Rahat3256] 3-5 exonuclease

21:52:07 [acestep1] but proof reading in 3-5 cuz it removes teh incorrect base as soon as it makes it which is at teh 3 end

21:52:20 [crusher] whts the ans of poly in repar

21:52:23 [DrMG] i agree

21:52:27 [acestep1] yes agree with rahat

21:52:31 [DrMG] it is 3

21:52:31 [Roxanita] G1 is a preparatory phase, prior to DNA sx, there is no repair

21:52:55 [Rahat3256] thank you ace

21:53:23 [acestep1] ur welcome any time

21:53:48 [zeda] what is telomerase activity?

21:53:54 adam enters this room

21:54:00 [acestep1] yes agree with rox

21:54:07 [DrMG] relieves supercoils

21:54:11 [Roxanita] in G1 the cell will make relevant proteins that will trigger the cell cycle to move forward. remember betwee G1 and S : Growth factors, including cyclins

21:54:31 [Step_1] agree, relieves supercoils

21:54:43 [acestep1] hmm . i think teh 5 end of teh new starnd is not made properly so teh new starnd will b smaller

21:54:46 [Lorena] repair the telomeres that otherwise woul,be lost in transcription

21:54:58 [yamini] ROXANITA CHECK OUT SECOND CHAPTER SECTION DNA REPAIR

21:54:59 [Rahat3256] agree with you

21:55:05 [zeda] yes

21:55:07 [Roxanita] one last...when will Gene expression occur, Phase?

21:55:42 [yamini] INTERPHASE

21:55:57 [zeda] normally it is present in.....embryonic cells,stem cells and in germ cells

21:56:07 [acestep1] yes agree with lorena

21:56:10 [DrMG] step 1 ...i think it is toipermerase

21:56:12 [Roxanita] Interphase has 3 subdivisions: G1-S-G2

21:56:16 [Lorena] agree with you zeda

21:56:20 [acestep1] n zeda

21:56:20 [DrMG] i have it mixed up with teleromerase

21:56:26 [Roxanita] even G0

21:56:44 [acestep1] interphase- rox

21:56:50 [Roxanita] what about it Yamini?

21:56:52 [zeda] which kind of cells have high telomerase activity?

21:56:57 [Lorena] is interphase the answer rox?

21:57:22 [sweta_chandra] eukaryotic cells have telomerase activity

21:57:22 [yamini] CANCER CELLS

21:57:31 [zeda] yes yamini

21:57:32 [Roxanita] yeah Interphase is global but specifically? G1 - S or G2 ?

21:57:33 [Step_1] oops, i mixed up the words, sorry

21:57:36 [Lorena] reproductive cells have hign telomerase activity(embryonic cells) and stem cells, also cancer cells does

21:57:36 [zeda] u r right

21:58:01 [Step_1] what polymerase is responsible for mitochondrial DNA in eukaryotes?

21:58:07 [DrMG] agree with lorena

21:58:11 [yamini] GAMMA

21:58:21 [Roxanita] in S phase we have the synthesis and on G2 we have it ready so the Gen expression will occur

21:58:29 [acestep1] agree with yamini

21:58:33 [Lorena] agree with yamini, gamma

21:59:01 [Step_1] dna polymerase gamma responsible for mito DNA is eukaryotes....good job!

21:59:15 [Roxanita] yup Gamma

21:59:27 [Lorena] you have the great questions rox

21:59:46 [Roxanita] Delta is for leaDing strand

22:00:01 [acestep1] yesagree

22:00:24 [Lorena] i guess then it is G2? rox?

22:00:25 [DrMG] agree

22:00:32 [Roxanita] Betta is for DNA repair

22:00:39 [yamini] ALPHA FOR LAGGING STRAND

22:00:41 [Roxanita] yup Lorena is G2

22:00:52 [Step_1] what are the stop and start codons?

22:00:53 [Roxanita] right yamini

22:01:19 [sweta_chandra] start are aug

22:01:21 [DrMG] aug.uga

22:01:28 [sweta_chandra] stop uaa, uag uga

22:27:19 [Step_1] agree, inhibit RNA polymerase

22:27:24 [acestep1] hey lorena whst the ans 2 ur q

22:27:26 [Roxanita] True or false? b) The leading strand runs 5’ to 3’ and is continuous

22:27:39 [Lorena] primary transcript is the direct product of transcription and has not been modified at all.It lacks poly adenylation and a 5'cap and still contains all the introns which will be spliced out later

22:27:51 [Roxanita] T o F ...c) Okazaki fragments are discontinuous and run 5’ to 3’

22:27:57 [crusher] true

22:27:58 [adam] it binds to beta subunit of Prok. RNA polymerase

22:28:03 [Lorena] thats the aswer ace

22:28:12 [dsa503] true

22:28:24 [adam] B is true

22:28:27 [acestep1] thnx lorena

22:28:31 [crusher] true about okazaki

22:28:33 [adam] c is true

22:28:46 [Roxanita] Good guys

22:28:52 [acestep1] true for both - rox

22:29:03 [Roxanita] T o F e) The proofreading of the added nucleotides in between the lagging strands by DNA polymerase is performed 5’ to 3’

22:29:10 [adam] I have a viral genetics q. may I ask?

22:29:13 [acestep1] oops the seond is false

22:29:20 [Lorena] false

22:29:24 [Step_1] yes please do adam

22:29:26 [sweta_chandra] false

22:29:27 [adam] e is false

22:29:28 [dsa503] false

22:29:33 [sweta_chandra] it is 3'-5'

22:29:45 [Roxanita] Guys you can always post your questions

22:29:47 [yamini] false

22:29:55 [Lorena] agree with sweta

22:30:05 [Roxanita] completely false

22:30:40 [Roxanita] The proofreading of the added nucleotides...This is the only process in DNA replication that is performed 3’ to 5’

22:30:47 [Step_1] which mutation results in early stop codon?

22:31:06 [adam] in MRS they describe the RNA replication when an RNA virus enters the cell as being performed by cell RNA polymerase? is this true? ( i.e , does our RNA polymerase read RNA strands?)

22:31:12 [acestep1] non sense

22:31:15 [dsa503] nonsence

22:31:19 [adam] Thanx Rox

22:31:25 [sweta_chandra] yes agree

22:31:28 [Lorena] nonsence mutation

22:31:33 [yamini] nonsense

22:31:36 [Step_1] nonsense mutation ends in early stop codon...good job

22:31:57 [adam] Nonsense= makes no sense

22:31:59 [acestep1] yes i think they do

22:32:11 [adam] Missense= makes some sense

22:32:14 [Lorena] agree with ace

22:32:19 [Roxanita] In which of the following cell cycle phases do most cells spend the majority of their life?..M ; Go; G1; S; G2 ?

22:32:34 [Roxanita] that's a good one adam

22:32:45 [sweta_chandra] g0

22:32:48 [acestep1] Go

22:33:01 [Lorena] i know G0 for neurons and muscle cells.....

22:33:04 [adam] G0

22:33:08 [nne] RNA processing can be best describe by: Occurs in Cytoplasm; Reslts in the formation of new covalent bond btw RNA and DNA ; inludes the methylation of nucleotides; results in the addition of nucleotides to the primary transcript of rRNA; includes the addition of a tail of polyadenylic acid

22:33:13 [Roxanita] completely right guys

22:33:13 [dsa503] adam what is th ans to your q

22:33:15 [Step_1] good 1

22:33:16 [Lorena] it is the same for the rest of the cells?

22:33:49 [adam] I don't really know, It is rather puzzling for me and was wondering if any body knows?

22:33:50 [nne] Polyadenylic acid in the 5' end

22:35:12 [adam] a retroviruses was allowed to infect an expermental cell, where does Reverse transcription occurs? cytoplasm, nucleus?

22:35:21 [Roxanita] uhm the last one?

22:35:29 [Lorena] i think positive sence RNA virus are dependent of our RNA polymerase adam

22:36:18 [crusher] cytoplasm

22:36:25 [dsa503] nucleus..?

22:36:30 [sweta_chandra] i think cysm too.

22:36:33 [yamini] cytoplasm

22:36:54 [Roxanita] cyotplasm

22:37:03 [adam] Cyto true

22:37:06 [acestep1] agree with all

22:37:57 [sweta_chandra] which aa is deficient in cystic fibrosis?

22:38:04 [nne] Anybody know the answer to nne's question?

22:38:23 [acestep1] phenylalanine

22:38:30 [adam] Lorena, how about the negative RNA. how does it replicate using our RNA polymerase? or they use RNA polymerase for both transcription and replication?

22:38:32 [acestep1] i think nne its A

22:38:39 [sweta_chandra] yes correct ace!

22:38:50 [adam] phenyalanine

22:39:02 [acestep1] thnx sweta

22:39:25 [nne] I think A is wrong

22:39:41 [yamini] phenylalanine

22:39:51 [acestep1] i think -ve r first coverted 2 + ve rna n then they r translated

22:39:51 [dsa503] e sounds right too

22:39:56 [crusher] deletion of phenylalanine at position 508 position

22:39:58 [Lorena] negative sence , they have their own polymerase

22:40:03 [Roxanita] Which of the following substrates is used in both purine and pyrimidine biosynthesis?a) Aspartate b)Glycine c)Glutamine d)Carbamoyl phosphate

22:40:07 [adam] what is the role of aflatoxin in hepatocellular carcinoma?

22:40:40 [crusher] glycine is it

22:40:49 [adam] true lorena but when they are copied into mRNA, they use our RNA polymerase for replication according to MRS!

22:40:56 [acestep1] agree with lorena

22:41:23 [crusher] aflatoxin destroy our hepatocytes

22:41:30 [sweta_chandra] aflatoxin is a chemical carcinogen

22:41:33 [adam] I am refering to MRS page 168 figures

22:41:40 [yamini] carbamoyl phosphate

22:41:46 [dsa503] Carbamoyl phosphate

22:42:18 [Lorena] i dont know adam

22:42:20 [adam] crusher, does this mean aflatoxin cause hepatitis?

22:42:22 [crusher] about -ve and =ve sense rna given very good with diagram in k,,a,,p,,l,,an micro

22:42:43 [Roxanita] Carbamoyl phosphate and aspartate are the only 2 substrates directly used to synthesize pyrimidines. Aspartate, N10-Formyltetrahydrofolate, glutamine, glycine and CO2 are sources for purine synthesis.

22:42:46 [acestep1] k thnx crusher

22:42:53 [adam] I have no K a p l a a n micro notes

22:43:05 [Roxanita] answer: aspartate for both

22:43:20 [Lorena] thank you roxanita

22:43:51 [adam] Which nucleotide bases require Folate for their synthesis?

22:43:51 [crusher] good Q roxanita

22:44:08 [crusher] uraciul is it?

22:44:20 [dsa503] thymine

22:44:39 [yamini] purines

22:44:48 [dsa503] oh

22:44:51 [Step_1] thymine i think

22:44:57 [acestep1] thymine i think

22:45:04 [acestep1] hehe

22:45:30 [Step_1] you read my mind

22:45:56 [sweta_chandra] yes purines

22:46:25 [acestep1] lol

22:46:30 [yamini] &thymine

22:46:47 [acestep1] ok y r dna _ve charged

22:46:48 [adam] Purines ( adenine+ guanine) + Thymine

22:47:03 [crusher] what is bond between the two ribose or deoxyribose sugars(real Q)

22:47:05 [acestep1] k

22:47:23 [sweta_chandra] phosphodiesterase bond

22:48:00 [acestep1] h bond on alternate n phosphodiester on teh smae starnd

22:48:15 [acestep1] oops imean same strand

22:48:18 [dsa503] phosphodiester bond

22:48:29 [adam] which group of people are naturally resistant to treatment with Azathioprin?

22:48:44 [crusher] yes it is phosphodiesterase bond

22:49:23 [Step_1] agree phosphodiesterase bond according to kap lan

22:50:03 [adam] is there a bond called phosphodiesterase? u guys mean phosphodiester, right?

22:50:45 [acestep1] yes my mistake the h bonds r b/w bases of the nucloetides

22:50:53 [Roxanita] Which of the following is not true concerning fungal RNA processing? A)It occurs in the cytoplasm b)The initial product of transcription is called heterogeneous RNA. C)The 5’ end is capped with a 7-methyl-G d) A polyadenosyne tail is synthesized on the 3’ end e) Introns are spliced out

22:51:31 [Step_1] sorry, i meant phosphodiester

22:51:49 [acestep1] b?

22:52:03 [adam] is it C Rox?

22:52:04 [crusher] B

22:52:04 [Lorena] i would guess b too

22:52:08 [yamini] b)

22:52:11 [acestep1] actually except a they all sound false

22:52:28 [Roxanita] this is a funny one....

22:52:44 [Roxanita] Because Fungi are Eukaryotes. The entire process occurs in the nucleus. The 5’ end cap and the polyadenosyne tail are believed to stabilize the structure for protein synthesis.

22:52:57 [nne] adam, what's the ans t your question?

22:53:11 [acestep1] OmG rox tht was a gd 1

22:55:13 [dsa503] Arginine, lysine

22:55:16 [yamini] A

22:55:23 [acestep1] a i think

22:55:23 [adam] arginine , lysine

22:55:45 [Lorena] they give histones their positive charge

22:56:03 [acestep1] yes agree with lorena

22:56:06 CARIBMD enters this room

22:56:13 [Step_1] arginine and lysine

22:56:25 [acestep1] hey lorena ur v gd at mol ;0

22:56:26 [Step_1] hi carib

22:56:33 [Roxanita] good Adam because... DNA is a (-) charged molecule and would bind to (+) charged histones, which are the basic aa (arginine, lysine) at physiological pH.

22:56:38 [acestep1]

23:04:06 [Roxanita] Which of the following is not true regarding RNA Polymerase? a) RNA polymerase I synthesizes rRNA b) RNA polymerase II synthesizes mRNA c) RNA polymerase III synthesizes tRNA d) Alpha-amantin inhibits the RNA polymerase complex e)Prokaryote RNA polymerase makes rRNA, mRNA and tRNA.

23:04:07 sana123 enters this room

23:04:09 [acestep1] yup

23:04:42 [acestep1] soem personal probs n i have 2 take my exams by august

23:04:43 [crusher] e is wrong

23:04:44 [adam] d. I think its Beta not alpha domain

23:04:54 [Step_1] i think we should all use the forum on daily basis to ask and ans questions about whichever subject we're on. roxanita provided a bunch of good ones this week, but not many of us were around to discuss

23:05:10 [Lorena] d

23:05:13 [acestep1] yes v true

23:05:21 [Roxanita] yup I did

23:05:29 [adam] I don't know that ya guys come here every day

23:05:47 [adam] so, what is the answer Rox?

23:06:00 [Roxanita] I will post my questions 2004

23:06:24 [acestep1] d i think

23:06:25 [Step_1] that would be great rox....thanks

23:06:29 [yamini] D

23:06:35 [nne] I agree with step 1

23:06:36 [acestep1] yes thnx Rox

23:06:37 [Roxanita] Oops....yup is d)

23:06:44 [adam] cool

23:06:46 [Roxanita] Good guys, all great

23:06:58 [acestep1] no adam we meet twice a week buit we put up soem qs on teh forum

23:07:00 [adam] so, Rox, you the one who puts the questions?

23:07:11 [nne] pls contact e too

23:07:20 [Roxanita] ok now Glycogen Storage Disease....

23:07:24 [Lorena] sure

23:07:36 [acestep1] wait thsi was for sunday?

23:07:51 [Roxanita] I am but don't tell anybody b/c the administrador gets upset if I write

23:07:53 [adam] what is all this contact about, did I miss any thing?

23:08:18 [adam] : No Body ME tell

23:08:20 [acestep1] lol

23:08:23 [Roxanita]

23:08:40 [Lorena] lol

23:08:41 [Step_1] rox will post the questions in the forum and we can all stop by in between chats everyday to give input and solve together....sound good

23:08:49 [yamini] FRUCTOSE CAUSES HYPERURICEMIA ADAM

23:08:49 [acestep1] k

23:08:59 [crusher] lol,,,yes

23:09:07 [acestep1] yes

23:09:08 [adam] when? where? how? i am lost

23:09:14 [Roxanita]

23:09:28 [adam] excellent Yamini thought ya guys forgot about it

23:09:37 [Roxanita] what about the Histone synthesisi, we didn't know and what about the Bioenergetic stuff

23:10:04 [adam] Rox! what are ya talkin about? did I miss any thing?

23:10:09 [Step_1] no set time since its everyday, just stop by when you can in the step 1 forum of valuemd. we can solve together. then we will still meet as scheduled on wed and sat at 9pm for live chats

23:10:26 [Lorena] yes

23:10:27 [Roxanita]

23:10:36 [acestep1] k

23:10:46 [yamini] OK

23:10:52 [Roxanita] The majority of cellular proteins and RNA are synthesized throughout the cell cycle and are only interrupted briefly during M phase. Synthesis of which of the following proteins occurs predominantly in S phase of the cell cycle?

23:11:28 [adam] Histones

23:11:51 [Roxanita] well, I didn't know that

23:11:55 [Roxanita] Cyclins

23:11:57 [yamini] histones

23:12:03 [Step_1] histones from earlier answer i think

23:12:04 [Roxanita] Oops

23:12:16 [Lorena] guys i have to go

23:12:37 [Lorena] i will see you in the next chat , i am so happy with this group !!

23:12:40 [acestep1] hey lorena take care

23:12:43 [Roxanita] No Lorena don't go

23:12:45 [adam] what Rox?

23:13:02 [yamini] good night lorena

23:13:06 [Step_1] thanks for the excellent chat lorena. i learned alot from you tonight coz i'm terrible at biochem....thnx

23:13:10 [acestep1] yes . all of us r glad 2 b with u

23:13:13 [Roxanita] no, no its fine your answer adam

23:13:27 [Lorena] bye!!!

23:13:50 [acestep1] byee

23:14:30 [crusher] bye lorena thanks for great information provided

23:14:42 [adam] is it cyclins or histones Roxan?

23:14:52 [Roxanita] Bye Lorenita

23:15:02 [Roxanita] HISTONES Adam

23:15:05 [adam] By Lorenaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

23:15:06 [Step_1] next time is metabolism section of biochem, but what else? is there any other section we missed for tonight?

23:15:13 [adam] nk Roxannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnit

23:15:30 [acestep1] hey we ddint discuss the pt mutations

23:15:35 [yamini] genetics

23:15:35 [Roxanita] Adam there was a question on Bioenergetic

23:15:40 [acestep1] n also the ad n ar d/s

23:16:18 [acestep1] also abt how we syn of dna n rna

23:16:20 [Roxanita] we are still here so we can keep going right?

23:16:27 [acestep1] like teh enzymes etc

23:16:29 [adam] yes Roxy, shoot! but don't kill me

23:16:36 [acestep1] ya rox

23:16:41 [crusher] we shall continue

23:16:42 [adam] no left, not right!

23:16:43 [acestep1] lol

23:16:49 [Roxanita] I am just saying that in the real exam they come

23:17:02 [adam] yeah and they go too

23:17:03 [acestep1] ya also pcr n sountern bot etc r lft

23:17:06 [Step_1] yes, i was just wondering which sections are fair game for tonight and which to skip for next time

23:17:20 [sana123] hi everybody,i am new in this chat and am not able to see the whole of the chat session u guy did today,does it come in pages to which we need to know links or what

23:17:20 [Roxanita] what do you want to do guys....step 1?

23:17:20 [crusher] roxanita ur Q r awesome....keep askin

23:17:56 [adam] what was the bioenergetic q Rox?

23:18:01 [crusher] although i knew the ans of very few

23:18:06 [Step_1]>[sana123] hi sana, i'll post the chat in the step 1 forum at the end

23:18:08 [yamini] what is the effect of non-competitive inhibitor on km &Vmax?

23:18:21 [acestep1] no sana step1 will post todays session on teh forum i think

23:18:25 [adam] is it aclculations or about stuff with positive and negative values?

23:18:38 nne enters this room

23:18:39 [Roxanita] thanks but we can push ourselves by trying to solve the questions, everybody should put questions. Just

23:18:41 [crusher] its effect on vmax only n it dec vmax

23:18:43 [sana123] and roxanita, i would like to ask a few things about the q u posted regarding bioenergetics

23:19:12 [acestep1] k . thnx

23:19:15 [Roxanita] Enthalpia, Entropia, Free Energy changes, free Std energy change

23:19:27 [adam]

23:19:33 [acestep1] hey guys ill b back in 20 mins im really tired

23:19:52 [acestep1] lol

23:20:04 [Step_1] no prob ace

23:20:06 [nne] i don't understand this lineweaver burke thing

23:20:32 [Roxanita] I am lost on this Yamini, can you explain please?

23:20:33 [acestep1] thnx step1

23:20:54 [adam] wow, what about them Roxy? this sounds a tough one! Sh.

23:21:13 [Roxanita]

23:21:15 [Step_1]>[nne] i think there is a good question with explanation and pics on the forum somewhere. i can look it up for you and provide the link tomorrow if you want

23:21:32 [adam]

23:21:40 [adam]

23:21:48 [sana123] while adding the standard free energies of the cosecutive reactons we have to look at the sign which comes at the ebnd,either its is + or -,the reaction will proceed if its - and will not if its +,but this doesn't explain why z' option will accumulate most at equilibrium,would u or anybody plz expl

23:21:52 [Roxanita] Yamini, about your Q) effect of non-competitive inhibitor on km &Vmax?

23:21:53 [yamini] Km-no change,Vmax decreases

23:22:26 [Roxanita] it's like ALgebra, very fun

23:22:44 [kokushubila] Hi guys, I was Dead in this stuff , THANKS TO YOU ALL I am now ALIVE

23:23:05 [adam] yep, Km no change and V max decrease

23:23:09 [Roxanita] thanks yami

23:23:19 [sweta_chandra] v max increases or decreses?

23:23:27 [Roxanita] I remember that from pharm

23:23:27 [adam] welcome back to life Kokush

23:23:39 [adam] V max decreases

23:23:46 [sweta_chandra] 1/vmax decreases i guess

23:24:07 [Step_1] good kokush....i'm still trying to revive myself

23:24:11 [crusher] dec vmax

23:24:40 [sweta_chandra]

23:24:40 [adam] wassup Rox? Shoot!

23:24:51 [Roxanita] ΔG0′ : V ↔ W : - 4.0 ------- W ↔ X : +0.4 --------- X ↔ Y : – 3.4 ----------Y ↔ Z : + 5.7

23:25:17 [adam] v-w

23:25:23 [Roxanita] the question was From the values of ΔG0′ given in the table, which compound in the overall metabolic pathway V ↔ W ↔ X ↔ Y ↔ Z will accumulate in the largest amount at equilibrium?

23:25:40 [adam] i donno how to do these signs Roxan

23:25:58 [Roxanita] do you have Lippincott's Biochem?

23:26:09 [adam] who? me?

23:26:12 [Roxanita] that was a question

23:26:21 [Roxanita] yeah you...

23:26:35 [adam] yes, I do

23:26:48 [Roxanita] we guys have to start reading these stuff because it seems <a target=new href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=c97WUMRO5hY&offerid=47491.10000058&type=3 &subid=0" >Kaplan</a> doesn't cover all themes

23:26:58 [Roxanita] I meant K-aplan

23:27:13 [adam] the answer to ur question is W

23:27:33 [Roxanita] I think it's Z

23:27:43 [crusher] plz explain wht ita all about

23:27:56 sana123 exits from this room

23:28:07 sana123 enters this room

23:28:20 [adam] I think there is a similar q in Lippincott's . isn't it?

23:28:29 [Roxanita] the original question comes in a table...they give you the following reactions and their ΔG0′

23:29:16 [adam] the one with the lowet delta G is the fastest

23:29:27 [Roxanita] just apply the rule of: ΔG0′ of two consecutive reactions are additive

23:29:29 [adam] because it needs the lowet energy to proceed

23:29:55 [Step_1] k.aplan isn't as good of reference as lippencott, but its better for high yield stuff

23:30:08 [Roxanita] the (-) means it goes to the right direction: loss of free energy A-->B

23:30:35 [Roxanita] I love k-aplan but we have to cover those themes that are not there like this one

23:30:59 [Step_1] i agree

23:31:04 [adam] so, what would be the answer to ur Q rox?

23:31:41 [Roxanita] if you put the reactions in columns you will take off Ws, Xs and Ys

23:32:24 [Roxanita] and then you just have V --> Z if you do the summatory you will have a negative value which means it will accumulate to the right what is Z

23:32:52 [Roxanita] it's like algebra, you just eliminate same values at both sides, remember?

23:33:07 [Roxanita] so , following these for me it would be Z

23:33:15 [Roxanita] What do you think?

23:33:47 [Roxanita] anybody Is that bad?

23:34:05 [Roxanita] hellooooooooooooooooo

23:34:14 [adam] yes,

23:34:18 [adam] i am with ya

23:34:26 [adam] just trying to make the summation

23:34:31 [Step_1] i think thats right

23:34:50 [sana123] but u know what rox,the y to z has +5.7,why would it accumulate the most at equilibrium

23:34:56 [Roxanita] in the book they have an example similar but only 2 reactions

23:35:14 [adam] so, you mean z is produced the most?

23:35:48 [Roxanita] it doesn't matter the values just make the summatories, because they will eliminate

23:36:26 [adam] 4-4=0, will eliminate

23:36:29 [Roxanita] the summatory is negative it means --->

23:36:38 [Roxanita] uhu

23:36:50 [adam] but 5.7-3.4 is not equal zero, how would they eliminate?

23:37:57 [Roxanita] V ↔ W – 4.0 ; W ↔ X +0.4 ; X ↔ Y – 3.4 ; Y ↔ Z + 5.7

23:38:03 [adam] which page is the example u rfered to?

23:38:35 [Roxanita] write: V+W+X+Y = W + X+ Y+ Z

23:38:54 [Roxanita] V+W+X+Y ---> W + X+ Y+ Z

23:39:01 [Roxanita] what left there?

23:39:17 [Roxanita] V --> Z right?

23:39:38 [hutals] makes sense

23:39:39 [sana123] v to z yes

23:39:43 [Roxanita] page 64 Lippincott's

23:39:44 [adam] HUMMMMMMMMM

23:40:03 [adam] the glucose example?

23:40:08 [Roxanita] now separate make the summatory and what you got, doesn't matter, you just know it's negative

23:40:19 [sana123] and since product comes -1.3 it will accumulate the most

23:40:44 [Roxanita] yes, they cancel glucose 6-P b/c it's in both sides

23:40:49 [sana123] u r genious rox,thanks,it was badly stuck on my mind

23:41:00 [Roxanita] since it is - value, it goes to the right -->

23:41:05 [Roxanita] who is on the right side?

23:41:13 [Roxanita] A --> Z

23:41:30 [Roxanita] sorry V --> Z

23:41:43 [Roxanita] Does it make sense guys?

23:42:01 [sana123] thanks rox,its makes good sense

23:42:10 [hutals] that was close, i was wondering where the A came from

23:42:29 [hutals] thnx for explaining that rox

23:43:16 [sana123] Q-â-Hexosaminidase is made up of á and â subunits. Tay-Sachs disease is due to a mutation in the á-subunit gene, and Sandhoff disease is due to a mutation in the â subunit gene. If a carrier of Tay-Sachs disease marries a carrier of Sandhoff disease, what is the probability that their first child w

23:43:28 [Roxanita] ok, for everybody, if ΔG0′=0 A<>B are at equilibrium; ΔG0′<0 A-->B right direction; ΔG0′>0 A<--B left direction

23:43:37 [adam] zero

23:44:08 [sana123] will have either disease?

23:44:17 [yamini] zero

23:44:58 [adam] so Rox, your answer would be z?

23:45:13 [Roxanita] yes Z

23:45:33 acestep1 enters this room

23:45:33 [adam] what was the options? were they like v, w, x, y or z?

23:45:39 [Roxanita]

23:45:58 [adam] hosssssshhhhhhhhhhhhh

23:45:59 hutals exits from this room

23:46:02 [Roxanita] V; W; X; Y; Z

23:46:05 hutals exits from this room

23:46:20 [adam] that make sense now

23:46:34 [Roxanita]

23:47:00 hutals enters this room

23:47:12 [adam] hummmmmmmmmmmmmmm. okay. are we safe here?

23:47:17 [Roxanita] the probability is Zero Sana?

23:47:26 [Roxanita] I think so

23:47:34 [adam] p)

23:48:04 [adam]

23:48:06 [Step_1]

23:48:26 [Roxanita] Uhm sorry STEP 1

23:48:30 [adam]

23:48:56 [sana123] thnaks rox, i neded to confirm the right ans

23:49:02 [Step_1]

23:49:12 [adam] Roxy yeah, there is a table on page 64 that refers to the directions

23:49:22 [Roxanita] I am asking you

23:49:33 [adam] who? me?

23:49:59 [Step_1] anything else high yield that we should go over?

23:50:09 [Roxanita] as I told you guys those question from N came on the real thing for me don't miss those themes

23:50:28 [adam] yes Rox! Lets Rock(x) and role

23:50:38 [adam] okay

23:50:43 [Roxanita] ok guys, kind of tired, but good information. Thanks step 1 for your great graphics, as everybody saw on the forums

23:50:57 [adam] did u do take ur exam rox?

23:50:58 [yamini] recombinant DNA WE Didnot discuss

23:51:21 [Roxanita] Adam, great to have you here

23:51:38 [adam] step1? do u have graphics on the froum? which graphs

23:51:44 [Roxanita] go ahead yamini, you know a lot share a little with us

23:51:50 [adam] Thanks Rox.

23:51:57 [adam] do u come here every day?

23:52:12 [adam] do u gusy have this discusion every day?

23:52:29 [Step_1] i posted some pics to help with explanations when i ans some of the questions on the forum...i'm a visual learner

23:52:33 [Roxanita] go to check the chedule for chat group on the forums

23:52:47 [adam] Roxy? how can I catch up with you in ur chats?

23:52:52 [Roxanita] schedule

23:53:12 [yamini] what is the enzyme required for PCR?

23:53:33 [adam] Taq DNA polymerase

23:53:50 [Step_1] http://www.valuemd.com/mycalendar.php for calendar and http://www.valuemd.com/viewtopic.php?t=18530 for table of schedule

23:54:28 [Roxanita] yup Taq polymerase

23:54:40 [Step_1] i agree

23:54:47 [adam] yeah great Roxy

23:55:06 [yamini] YES,roxanita&adam

23:55:21 [adam] yes Yamini, next q

23:55:49 [Step_1] which genetic testing for DNA? RNA? Protein?

23:56:07 [adam] DNA....Southern

23:56:12 [adam] RNA... NOrthern

23:56:18 [adam] Protein...WEstern

23:56:26 acestep1 enters this room

23:56:31 [yamini] in which type of BLOT gel electrophorosis is not required?

23:56:39 [adam] next yamini

23:56:43 [Step_1] DNA is Southern, RNA is Northern, Protein is Western.....good job adam

23:57:13 [acestep1] hey guys sorry my net is giving em probs

23:57:31 [adam] what is wouthwestern blot?

23:57:39 [Step_1] Dot Slot is not required

23:58:06 [yamini] yes,step_1

23:58:34 [adam] sorry, what is Dot slot?

23:58:37 [acestep1] ita test for proteins

23:58:49 [Step_1] Southwestern is to analyze DNA-protein interaction

23:58:56 [Roxanita] Northern Blot?

23:59:07 [adam] good step 1

23:59:12 [acestep1] test for anything dna , rna proteins etc

23:59:15 [sana123] Fragile X Synd. is diagnoses by using what kind a blot? a:Northern b:western c:southern

23:59:18 [adam] what about Northern blot rox?

23:59:45 [yamini] dot blot is used to study RNA,DNA,PROTIENS

23:59:46 [adam] i think it whould be southern!

23:59:53 [acestep1] northern is rna

23:59:53 [Step_1] Dot (slot) is a type of blot to analyze DNA, RNA, or protein. it doesn't require electrophoresis

00:00:14 [adam] so, is the only difference is that it doesn't need gel electropheresis?

00:00:17 [yamini] FRAGILEX-NORTHERN BLOT

00:00:23 [acestep1] i think southern blot- sana

00:00:39 [acestep1] oops yes yamini si right

00:00:44 [Step_1] the only major different that we should know at least

00:00:44 [sana123] yes yamini u r right, its orthern blot

00:00:54 [adam] why sana?

00:01:08 [adam] why it is northern?

00:01:13 [acestep1] sountern is for myotonic dystrophy

00:02:02 [acestep1] they see teh amt / length of rna in each tissue

00:02:07 [Step_1] what screeni

chat transcript - biochemistry (mol. bio.) cont.

00:02:07 [Step_1] what screening test for HIV?

00:02:15 [adam] why southern for Myotonic dystrophy?

00:02:21 [sana123] the basic idea behind using nothern is to analyse Rna extracted from a tissue to determine what genes are being expressed, and which tissues express the FMR1 gene involved in fragile x synd

00:02:21 [adam] ELISA for screenin HIV

00:02:31 [acestep1] cuz u cant do pcr in it

00:02:40 [Roxanita] Yamini about your question i missed the answer...the Blot tech that doesn't need Gel electrophoresis

00:02:47 [adam] yes, I got u sana, thanks

00:02:54 [Step_1] good adam. if ELISA is pos, what next?

00:03:04 [adam] it was the dot blot Rox

00:03:12 [adam] Western Blot

00:03:23 [yamini] WESTERN BLOT

00:03:32 [Step_1] right adam

00:03:34 [adam] ELISA is a very sensitive test 95% but a non specific test

00:03:51 [Roxanita] the previous answer was western blot?

00:03:56 [yamini] DOT BLOT ROXANITA

00:04:01 [adam] what is Western was equivocal?

00:04:20 [Step_1] if ELISA is pos, what next? the ans was western blot

00:04:22 [adam] sorry, what if western was equivocal?

00:04:25 [Roxanita] the Blot tech that doesn't need Gel electrophoresis?

00:04:44 [adam] It is dot blot Rox

00:04:45 [yamini] YES,ROXANITA

00:04:55 [Roxanita] dot

00:05:11 [adam] yes Rox

00:05:13 [Roxanita] uhm

00:05:31 [adam] what Rox?

00:05:34 [Step_1] the blot that doesnt require gel electo? the ans was dot blot

00:05:41 [Roxanita] I was sure it was northern blot

00:05:57 [Step_1] for which question

00:06:14 [Roxanita] that Q

00:06:24 [Roxanita] the blot that doesnt require gel electo? the ans was dot blot

00:06:40 [Roxanita] what is DOT BLOT?

00:06:50 [adam] that was my q rox

00:06:53 [acestep1] yes rox dotblot is teh only 1 tht doesnt need it

00:07:04 [Step_1] yes, the ref is k.aplan biochem genetic testing area

00:07:07 [adam] u are askin the exact same q i asked

00:07:22 [Roxanita] I even have a graphic with those.... Southern, Western and Southwestern do need

00:07:35 [Roxanita] ut Northern Blot doesn't

00:08:03 [sana123] a male child is born to a pair in which father was suffering from Leber hereditary neuropathy, what r chances that this boy will have the same disease

00:08:04 [Step_1] yes, they all need them. i dont know about northern because its not on my list

00:08:11 [acestep1] noooooooo rox dotblot doesnt need it

00:08:48 [Roxanita] DOT BLOX, page of k-aplan please

00:08:52 [Step_1] nevermind, i found it, northern does require electophoresis on my list in k.aplan

00:09:00 [yamini] NORTHERN ALSO REQUIRES ELECTROPHOROSIS

00:09:02 [adam] No rox, it does require gel electrophoresis. ref: lippincott's page 411

00:09:06 [acestep1] i dont remb but chapter 6

00:09:22 [acestep1] of <a target=new href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=c97WUMRO5hY&offerid=47491.10000058&type=3 &subid=0" >Kaplan</a>

00:09:34 [Roxanita] I will review that because it was an N question

00:09:37 [acestep1] oops caplan imean

00:09:42 [adam] sana: Nill=zero

00:09:54 [acestep1] i think none- sana

00:09:59 [yamini] SANA THE ANS IS NONE

00:10:07 [acestep1] yes is it mitochondrial

00:10:13 [Roxanita] thanks for the question yamini

00:10:36 [adam] sana, those qs are really good

00:10:40 [yamini] U R WELCOME ROXANITA

00:10:40 [adam] thanks Sana

00:11:11 [adam] OMG, the N word!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

00:11:14 [Step_1] none because sperm do not have mitochondria and its mitochond inheritance so father cannot pass it on

00:11:27 [sana123] yes because we inherit mitochondrail DNA only from mother,both sexes can be affected

00:11:28 [adam] EYES OPENED WIDE

00:11:37 [acestep1] yes gd explanation step1

00:11:56 [adam] nope, be careful

00:11:57 [acestep1] thnx sana

00:12:02 [adam] sperm do have mitochondria

00:12:27 [Step_1] which testing to amplify DNA?

00:12:28 [adam] other wise, how do they move? but the mitochondria is lost once the sperm enters the ovum

00:12:30 [yamini] I agree with adam

00:12:32 [adam] PCR

00:12:43 [acestep1] hey but during fertilization the tail n mitochondria r lost adam

00:12:46 [yamini] PCR

00:12:59 [acestep1] yes agree with adam

00:13:08 [Step_1] good point adam. and yes its PCR.

00:13:09 [Roxanita] good acestep1

00:13:10 [acestep1] pcr

00:13:11 [adam] that is what i said ace

00:13:27 [acestep1] thnx rox

00:13:35 [Roxanita] you guys have good information

00:13:48 [acestep1] sorry adam i ur ans came on my screen after i had typed it

00:13:59 [adam] we are learning

00:14:02 [adam] its okay ace

00:14:11 [adam] Rox, shoot!

00:14:17 [acestep1] k . thnx

00:14:37 [Step_1] which testing for small, old dried sample (like old blood)?

00:14:39 [acestep1] yes plz

00:14:40 [adam] Sana, where is ur Qs?

00:14:47 sana123 exits from this room

00:15:00 [acestep1] wow step1 cool

00:15:04 sana123 enters this room

00:15:38 [adam] hummmmmmm! is it Southern blot?

00:15:43 [acestep1] i think either mini or micro satlellite

00:15:59 [acestep1] n yes soutern blot

00:16:03 [sana123] i am sorry i couldn't get adam what exactly u asked

00:16:06 [Roxanita] person with XerodermaPigmentosum:A)is missing the enzyme that reverses thymine dimers B.is sensitive to UV radiation C. is sensitive primarily to ionizing radiation (x-rays) D.is prone to cancers and should be treated prophylactically with radiation therapy E. is missing one of the 7 genes that enc

00:16:10 [acestep1] but not sure abt teh latter

00:16:16 [Step_1] the answer would be PCR for genetic finger printing....real test question

00:16:16 [Roxanita] that encode type II topoisomerases

00:16:17 [adam] what is minni and microsatellite?

00:16:28 [adam] nothing Sana, for more Qs?

00:16:35 [acestep1] ic

00:17:08 [yamini] B

00:17:18 [acestep1] i think a rox

00:17:35 [Step_1] sens to UV radiation

00:17:51 [adam] B

00:18:05 [adam] anser Rox?!

00:18:08 [acestep1] hmm adam these r the areas of a specific # of bases which u amplify

00:18:14 [Roxanita] that means B

00:18:21 [Roxanita] Good job guys

00:18:54 [acestep1] hey wait y not a

00:19:07 [adam] so, what was the answer to ur q step 1?

00:19:34 [Step_1] the answer would be PCR for genetic finger printing....real test question

00:19:37 [adam] ace, nothing called an enzyme that reverses thymidine dimers

00:19:43 [Roxanita] In which disorder is mismatch repair found to be defective? A. Ataxia telangiectasia B. Cockayne's Syndrome C. Bloom's syndrome D. Hereditary non-polyposis colon cancer HNPCC) E. Xeroderma pigmentosum (XP)

00:20:05 [acestep1] ok yes . thnx adam

00:20:22 [Step_1] that was for the dried blood question that the real test mentioned about a forensic lab study for a murder case or something

00:20:25 [adam] thanks stpe 1

00:20:51 [acestep1] k thnx step1

00:21:00 [sana123] its D

00:21:05 [acestep1] d- rox

00:21:21 [Step_1] HNPCC

00:21:31 [yamini] D

00:21:53 [adam] are these N Qs rox?

00:22:02 [Roxanita] D) Again great! Yes, these disorders are associated with mutations in homologs of the bacterial MutS and MutL genes.

00:22:15 [sana123] so what do we use for testing old samples , step 1 plz tel

00:22:32 [adam] sana, PCR

00:22:36 [Roxanita] nope, but we got to practice from somewhere

00:22:41 [sana123] is it pcr

00:22:50 [sana123] thnaks adam

00:22:57 [adam] sure

00:22:59 [adam] thanks Rox

00:22:59 [Roxanita] I will mention N when the time comes

00:23:07 [Step_1] yes pcr for genetic finger printing

00:23:13 [adam] OK rox

00:23:26 [Roxanita] PCR yup

00:23:48 [adam] PCR is the best in the west!

00:24:03 [acestep1] lol

00:24:08 [Roxanita] let me see...

00:24:12 [adam] sorry guys, just being silly sometimes!

00:24:54 [Step_1] lol

00:24:59 [adam] okay, can you see any thing Rox?

00:25:05 [acestep1] hey adam wht u said is true . pcr si common in west

00:25:15 [sana123] Dna repair is done in which phase of cycle G1, G2, OR S

00:25:22 [acestep1]

00:25:35 [adam] G1 sana

00:25:36 [yamini] G1

00:25:36 [acestep1] g2

00:25:44 [adam] before the dudes enter S

00:25:47 [Step_1] G2

00:26:13 [Step_1] we just went over that and i already forgot

00:26:27 [Step_1] i know it starts with a G

00:26:29 [sana123] Right ans is G1, mismacth repair occurs in G 2

00:26:41 [yamini] IN G2 REPAIR OF MISMATCH PAIRS TAKES PLACE

00:26:59 [adam] great Yamini

00:27:13 [adam] Great Sana

00:27:26 [adam] I love you all guys, you are the best of the rest

00:27:34 [Step_1] yep....thats exactly what they told me when I got them mixed up a couple of hours ago....hopefully 3rd time is a charm

00:27:45 [Roxanita] N question..........The primary structural protein of the mitotic spindle apparatus is

00:28:03 [adam] Tubulin

00:28:04 [Roxanita] A) actin B) desmin C ) myosin D) tubulin E ) vimentin

00:28:09 [adam] am i right

00:28:15 [adam] heheheheh

00:28:16 [adam] D

00:28:24 [sana123] i think D

00:28:33 [Roxanita] I would mark that too, remember is "N"

00:28:37 [Step_1] i'd say tubulin

00:28:55 [adam] ok, Hoshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, No N's or M's or F's

00:29:12 [Step_1] how about N = No answer provided

00:29:13 [adam] shoot Rox, You are killing me!

00:29:39 [sana123] HNPCC is a mismatch repair defect or DNA repair defect

00:29:40 [Step_1] lol

00:29:56 [Step_1] mismatch

00:30:33 [Step_1] wait, its a mismatch dna repair defect...trick question

00:30:56 [sana123] yes step 1 it is

00:30:58 [acestep1] agree with step1

00:31:02 [adam] i need to reread this

00:31:11 [Roxanita] I guess I wont kill you anymore cause I am tired

00:31:16 [Roxanita]

00:31:28 [adam] no, i was just kidding you Rox

00:31:34 [adam] you are doing great

00:34:20 [acestep1] b

00:34:40 [adam] what is the mode of action of Topotecan?

00:34:48 [acestep1] oh ok so genetics step1 ?

00:34:53 [Roxanita] wow sana still alive I have nistagmus right now, got to go

00:35:11 [Step_1] inhibits the activity of topoisomerase II,

00:35:13 [acestep1] hey adam wht is tht

00:35:20 [acestep1] lol

00:35:33 [adam] see?!

00:35:34 [yamini] WHAT IS THE ANS ADAM?

00:35:41 [adam] a new one

00:35:51 [acestep1] ic

00:35:54 [Roxanita] this remind me the musicians at TITANIC never quit

00:35:55 [Step_1] no genetics or very briefly because we already discussed it a couple of weeks ago

00:35:56 [adam] It inhibits Topoisomerase I

00:36:02 [acestep1] thnx both step1 n adam

00:36:07 [sana123] i am on west coast so its not too late,besides u guys have done very good job for us

00:36:12 [adam] yes Rox, stay like the rocks

00:36:18 [acestep1] k

00:36:30 [sana123] its topo 2 inhibitor

00:36:33 [adam] what is the mode of resistance to etoposide?

00:36:39 [Step_1] i'm on the east coast and have to get up pretty early

00:36:57 [acestep1]

00:37:23 [Roxanita] I am in chicago, here it's 11:37pm

00:37:27 [acestep1] u change the topoiso 2 ?

00:37:41 [adam] Rox, I am in chicago too

00:37:48 [acestep1] ok im in asia n here its morning. lol

00:37:56 [Step_1] 12:37 here and have to be up at 7

00:38:40 [acestep1] n post ur qs on teh forum

00:38:48 [adam] no ace, this is a method of resistance in bacteria

00:38:48 [Roxanita] Just kidding

00:38:51 [acestep1] lol

00:38:54 [Step_1]

00:39:16 [yamini] P-GLYCOPROTEIN/MUTATION OF THE ENZYME ADAM

00:39:20 [adam] wow, I am moving tomorrow morning to Wisconsin, what a small world

00:39:26 [acestep1] ic

00:39:29 [adam] excellent Yamini

00:39:38 [adam] this is a very important question

00:39:45 [acestep1] lol

00:39:50 [adam] you know what other drugs share the same mechanism of resistance?

00:39:51 [acestep1] k

00:39:55 [sana123] buy the way, etoposide is eukaryotic topo 2 inhibitor,nalidixic acid a quinione is prokaryotic so resistance should be a problem with quinolones, or what u guys say

00:39:58 [Roxanita]

00:40:06 [Step_1] ok, goodnight everyone. if you guys continue when i leave, please post the remainder of the chat that i missed so everyone can read it
