Frage 1
Frage
What is site directed mutation?
Antworten
-
Where mutagenesis is directed towards a specific site
-
Where certain sites are more prone to mutagenesis than others
-
Where certain sites cannot be mutated and must be worked around
Frage 2
Frage
What form must the DNA be in for Site Directed Mutagenesis?
Frage 3
Frage
The primer for site directed mutagenesis is designed to have one or more mismatches
Frage 4
Frage
Once the mismatch has been achieved, how is it used?
Antworten
-
During repair, the old base will be replaced with a new match
-
During replication, half the daughter cells will carry the mutation
Frage 5
Frage
What is specific about the DNA used in the Kunkel Method?
Frage 6
Frage
What is Incorporated into the original DNA in order to make it susceptible to degrading
Antworten
-
Uracil
-
Methyl-cytosine
-
Thymidine-3-phosphate
Frage 7
Frage
Like with site directed, the primer annealed to the DNA is designed to create mismatches
Frage 8
Frage
In both site directed and the Kunkel method, how is the primer extended?
Antworten
-
DNA polymerase
-
Taq Polymerase
-
RNA polymerase
Frage 9
Frage
Once the DNA has been inserted, what happens to the original DNA strand?
Antworten
-
The Uracil cause it to be partially degraded
-
The Methyl-cytosine cause it to be partially degraded
-
The Thymidine-3-Phosphate cause it to be partially degraded
-
Being removed alone with the bp next to them
Frage 10
Frage
The partially degraded strand is them re-synthesised by DNA repair proteins, finalising the mutation
Frage 11
Frage
Which method has a way of determining which plasmid has the mutation?
Antworten
-
Site- Directed
-
Altered Site
-
Kunkel Method
Frage 12
Frage
What is particular about the plasmid used in the Altered Sites method?
Frage 13
Frage
What oligonucleotide primers are used during Altered Site mutagenisis?
Frage 14
Frage
What is the result, after DNA replication has occurred?
Antworten
-
The desired plasmid has the mutation, and tetracyline and ampicillin resistance
-
The desired plasmid has the mutation and tet resistance but no ampicillin resistance
-
The desired plasmid has the mutation and ampicillin resistance but no tetracyline resistance
Frage 15
Frage
What causes the mutagenesis in the 'Quickchange' PCR method?
Antworten
-
A two primers containing the mutation
-
Rapid replication of the Site Directed mutant
-
One primer contains a mutation, the other is used to create the mutated plasmid
-
The original DNA is then degraded, leaving only the mutated plasmid
Frage 16
Frage
Why is Dpn used to degrade the original DNA?
Antworten
-
It degrades only methylated DNA
-
It degrades only acetylated DNA
-
It degrades only ibiquitinated DNA
Frage 17
Frage
Site directed mutagenesis is unique in that no structural knowledge of the protein is required
Frage 18
Frage
State the two methods by which non-directed mutation occurs in evolution
Antworten
-
Gradual accumulation of beneficiary mutations
-
Gradual loss of unnecessary DNA
-
Recombination of genes to form hybrid protein
Frage 19
Frage
These random mutations can be mimicked in a lab
Frage 20
Frage
Random mutagenesis works best by introducing many mutations at the same time
Frage 21
Frage
What will happen when this DNA replicates?
Frage 22
Frage
Primers can be more specific and limit the choice of potential aa further
Frage 23
Frage
Name an Error prone DNA polymerase
Frage 24
Frage
Name the two conditions necessary for Error Prone mutagensis
Frage 25
Frage
DNA shuffling is used to create fusion proteins from two unrelated genes
Frage 26
Frage
Why does gene shuffling work?
Antworten
-
Ligation repairs DNA errors
-
Related genes have overlapping areas
-
Related genes can ligate together with less error
Frage 27
Frage
What protein is used to randomly cut up two related genes for DNA shuffling?
Antworten
-
DNAase I
-
DNAase III
-
EcoRV
-
EcoRI
Frage 28
Frage
The randomly cut up sequences are then ligated back together
Frage 29
Frage
When creating hybrids, the traditional approach of screening colonies for hybrids is not efficient- so we use robots
Frage 30
Frage
Name the two main methods of analysing mutants quickly
Frage 31
Frage
The advantage of Protein Surface Display in improved mutations is?
Antworten
-
Improved mutations will bind more strongly to immobalised substrate
-
They react more strongly to dyes
-
They don't degrade as easily
Frage 32
Frage
Once the variants are bound, they are washed so strongly only powerfully binding variants remain bound
Frage 33
Frage
Once the most improved variation has been identified, what can happen to it?
Frage 34
Frage
Chemical Compartmentalisation uses an oil/acetyl emulsion
Frage 35
Frage
Why are the droplets important?
Antworten
-
They make reading the DNA easier
-
Each droplet contains an individual mutation
-
Each droplet contains mutants that compliment each other
Frage 36
Frage
The DNA cannot be transcribed or translated in the droplets, only sequenced
Frage 37
Frage
Once the protein has been made, how are they assayed?
Frage 38
Frage
How is fluorescence used for separation in Fluorescent Activated Cell Sorters?
Antworten
-
The more fluorescent product is produced, the better the enzyme
-
The stronger the enzyme-substrate binding, the better the enzyme
-
The more fluorescent substrate is used, the better the enzyme
