Textbook Question
Chapter 17, Problem 19PDQ
How are dideoxynucleotides (ddNTPs) structurally different from deoxynucleotides (dNTPs), and how does this structural difference make ddNTPs valuable in chain-termination methods of DNA sequencing?

- What is the role of di-deoxy DNTPs in a Sanger sequencing reaction? Please select the answer that is most correct. The di-deoxy DNTPs are incorporated into the growing DNA molecule. The di-deoxy DNTPs terminate polymerisation of the growing DNA molecule, thereby creating fragments which all end in that specific di-deoxy base. Subsequent separation of the fragments by size facilitates the ascertainment of the sequence. The di-deoxy DNTPs facilitate polymerisation of the growing DNA molecule. this allows for multiple copies fo the template to be made for further analysis. The di-deoxy DNTPs terminate polymerisation of the growing DNA molecule. Ending the replication ensures that the molecules are not too long to be sequenced.arrow_forwardWhen joining two or more DNA fragments, a researcher can adjust the sequence at the junction in a variety of subtle ways, as seen in the following exercises.(a) Draw the structure of each end of a linear DNA fragment produced by an EcoRI restriction digest (include those sequences remaining from the EcoRI recognition sequence).(b) Draw the structure resulting from the reaction of this end sequence with DNA polymerase I and the four deoxynucleoside triphosphates.(c) Draw the sequence produced at the junction that arises if two ends with the structure derived in (b) are ligated (d) Draw the structure produced if the structure derived in (a) is treated with a nuclease that degrades only single-stranded DNA.(e) Draw the sequence of the junction produced if an end with structure (b) is ligated to an end with structure (d).(f) Draw the structure of the end of a linear DNA fragment that was produced by a PvuII restriction digest (include those sequences remaining from the PvuII recognition…arrow_forwardWhat are Watson-Crick base pairs?
