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.
A method used to identify multilocus DNA banding patterns that are specific to an individual by exposing a sample of the person's DNA to molecular probes and various analytical techniques such as Southern blot analysis. DNA fingerprinting is often used to provide evidence in criminal law cases.NA finÂ·gerÂ·printÂ·ing. a technique used to compare individuals by molecular genotyping. DNA isolated from a biologic specimen is digested and fractionated. Southern hybridization with a radiolabeled repetitive DNA provides an autoradiographic pattern unique to the individual. Synonym(s): DNA profiling, DNA typing.
