  2. Aminoglycoside - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aminoglycoside

    Aminoglycoside is a medicinal and bacteriologic category of traditional Gram-negative antibacterial medications that inhibit protein synthesis and contain as a portion of the molecule an amino-modified glycoside . [1] [2] The term can also refer more generally to any organic molecule that contains amino sugar substructures.

  3. Primosome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primosome

    The primosome consists of seven proteins: DnaG primase, DnaB helicase, DnaC helicase assistant, DnaT, PriA, Pri B, and PriC. At each replication fork, the primosome is utilized once on the leading strand of DNA and repeatedly, initiating each Okazaki fragment, on the lagging DNA strand. Initially the complex formed by PriA, PriB, and PriC binds ...

  4. Primase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primase

    DNA primase is an enzyme involved in the replication of DNA and is a type of RNA polymerase.Primase catalyzes the synthesis of a short RNA (or DNA in some living organisms [1]) segment called a primer complementary to a ssDNA (single-stranded DNA) template.

  5. Kanamycin kinase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanamycin_kinase

    [13] [14] Additionally, it has been found that aminoglycoside biosynthesis requires phosphorylation of hydroxyl groups during certain steps of synthesis. Thus, it has been speculated that APH(3') and other protein kinases originate from enzymes from the metabolic pathway for aminoglycosides, and developed in order to counteract the toxic ...

  6. DnaG - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DnaG

    DnaG (DNA primase) is an essential enzyme involved in the DNA replication fork Organic mechanism of oligonucleotide synthesis of ribonucleic acid (RNA) in the 5' to 3' direction DnaG catalyzes the synthesis of oligonucleotides in five discrete steps: template binding, nucleoside triphosphate (NTP) binding, initiation, extension to form a primer ...

  7. Nucleic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucleic_acid

    The bases found in RNA and DNA are: adenine, cytosine, guanine, thymine, and uracil. Thymine occurs only in DNA and uracil only in RNA. Using amino acids and protein synthesis, [2] the specific sequence in DNA of these nucleobase-pairs helps to keep and send coded instructions as genes. In RNA, base-pair sequencing helps to make new proteins ...

  8. Eukaryotic DNA replication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eukaryotic_DNA_replication

    Owing to the relatively short nature of the eukaryotic Okazaki fragment, DNA replication synthesis occurring discontinuously on the lagging strand is less efficient and more time-consuming than leading-strand synthesis. DNA synthesis is complete once all RNA primers are removed and nicks are repaired. Depiction of DNA replication at replication ...

  9. Amino acid synthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amino_acid_synthesis

    The genes required for the synthesis of cysteine are coded for on the cys regulon. The integration of sulfur is positively regulated by CysB. Effective inducers of this regulon are N-acetyl-serine (NAS) and very small amounts of reduced sulfur. CysB functions by binding to DNA half sites on the cys regulon. These half sites differ in quantity ...
