coenzymes are organic molecules that are required by certain enzymes to carry out catalysis. They bind to the active site of the enzyme and participate in catalysis but are not considered substrates of the reaction.
2. List two situations where DNA fingerprinting is useful. DNA fingerprints can be used for determining a biological mother or father, identifying thesuspect of a crime, or clearing someone's name for a crime they were mistakenly accused orconvicted.
This process is called electrophoresis and helps us to better understand and identify the molecular components of living things. Forensics In the world of forensics, gel electrophoresis is used to obtain a DNA fingerprint of a criminal. This means that scientists can accurately tell whether two pieces of DNA, one found at a crime scene and one belonging to a suspect, are matches. Molecular Biology Microbiologists use gel electrophoresis on a regular basis.
