in proteins, certain specific orderings of secondary structure that may have a functional role and include Î²-Î±-Î² helix-turn-helix, leucine zippers, calcium binding EF hands, zinc fingers and longer orderings that take on a structural domain such as the Î²-barrel and the immunoglobulin fold.
Deoxyribonucleic acid (/diËÉksiËraÉªbÉµ.njuËËkleÉª.É¨k ËaesÉªd/ ; ËÃ¦SÉªD) dna is a molecule that carries most of the genetic instructions used in the, development functioning and reproduction of all known living organisms and many. virusesranscription is carried out by a DNA-dependent RNA polymerase that copies the sequence of a DNA strand into RNA. To begin transcribing a gene, the RNA polymerase binds to a sequence of DNA called a promoter and separates the DNA strands.
What is the function of DNA polymerase I? Proofreads DNA. (about 20 at a time before it dissociates). It is a 5' to 3' DNA polymerase but also has 5' to 3' and 3' to 5' exonuclease activity to proof read and correct mismatches. It works with DNA:DNA as well as RNA:DNA.
