What does 5' and 3' mean in DNA and RNA strands?
Feb 16, 2014 · What are 5' and 3' in DNA and RNA strands? An answer with illustrations would be appreciated.
Why is DNA replication performed in the 5' to 3' direction?
DNA replication goes in the 5' to 3' direction because DNA polymerase acts on the 3'-OH of the existing strand for adding free nucleotides. Is there any biochemical reason why all organisms evolved...
What is the numbering convention followed in the reverse strand of a ...
Sep 11, 2024 · This, is what I prefer to refer to as the ‘anti-sense’ strand of the gene (the term cannot be applied to the genome), and results in a transcript which is an RNA copy of the ‘sense’ strand, i.e. …
Why are transcripts translated from 5' to 3' direction?
Feb 13, 2014 · What is the mechanism? In other words, how does the tRNA know whether the codon is in 5' to 3' direction? I also heard that anything that is translated from 3' to 5' direction is degraded. Is …
molecular genetics - How does DNA codon (5`-3`) convert to mRNA ...
From what I know already RNA polymerase reads the anti-sense/template strand (3`-5` strand) and synthesizes mRNA in a 5`-3` direction. For example, using the first column with the DNA codon 5` …
DNA Replication ~ 5' to 3' direction? - Physics Forums
Mar 6, 2014 · DNA replication occurs exclusively in the 5' to 3' direction because DNA polymerases can only add nucleotides to the 3' end of a growing strand. This means that while both strands of DNA …
DNA Directionality: 3' to 5' & Bacterial DNA Explained
Feb 4, 2008 · Hi, To my understanding, the directionality of DNA (3' to 5') (5' to 3') is based on where the free (unattached) end of the ribose is. With this idea...
dna - Transcription takes place from the 5’ to the 3’ end of the m-RNA ...
The reason why the polymerization of DNA/RNA strands only happens in 5' -> 3' direction is because the polymerases can only add new nucleotides a the 3'OH-group of the existing strand linking it with the …
Meaning of 5’–3’ in relation to ORFs - Biology Stack Exchange
Sep 21, 2020 · RNA/DNA are typically "read" (and always written) from the 5' to the 3' end of the molecule by molecular machinery in the cell, so that's usually the order we read the sequences as …
So confused with 5' to 3' end of DNA molecule - Physics Forums
Nov 18, 2009 · Hello everyone, Quick questions. What do they mean by different polarities in anti parallel DNA strands. Are they referring to some chemical polarity or simply the fact they run in …
