Here, the polymerase recognizes the occasional mistakes in the synthesis reaction by the lack of base pairing between the mismatched nucleotides.
32.
This enzyme makes the complementary strand by finding the correct base through complementary base pairing and bonding it onto the original strand.
33.
This short-wave ultraviolet light disrupts DNA base pairing causing pyrimidine dimers formation and leads to the inactivation of bacteria, viruses, and protozoa.
34.
The secondary structure of a nucleic acid molecule refers to the base pairing interactions within one molecule or set of interacting molecules.
35.
This enzyme makes the complementary strand by finding the correct base through complementary base pairing, and bonding it onto the original strand.
36.
As transcription proceeds, RNA polymerase traverses the template strand and uses base pairing complementarity with the DNA template to create an RNA copy.
37.
This class are thought to guide the sites of modification of uridines to pseudouridines by forming direct base pairing interactions with substrate RNAs.
38.
The major structural drawback to unmodified SPAs as gene modulators is that their recognition sequence cannot be extended beyond 5 Watson-Crick base pairings.
39.
Crick did tentatively attempt to perform some experiments on nucleotide base pairing, but he was more of a theoretical biologist than an experimental biologist.
40.
The specificity of base pairing occurs because adenine and thymine align to form two hydrogen bonds, whereas cytosine and guanine form three hydrogen bonds.
