Pregunta
Why is it thought that ribozymes are likely to be a legacy from an ancestral RNA world?
Respuesta
-
They are more stable than RNAs
-
When they act, they require the presence of protein cofactors
-
They act without the participation of protein cofactors.
-
They can be made spontaneously without a DNA template.
-
They are made by proteins

Pregunta 7
Pregunta

Pregunta 8
Pregunta
Multiple binding sites for a repressor is advantageous because:
Respuesta
-
There are too many repressors in cells
-
DNA must be bent to allow transcription
-
Repressors are only active when bound to many sites at once
-
This increases the effective concentration of the repressor
-
Repressors need multiple binding sites to bind ligands
