Sanger sequencing- employs the biochemistry of dna synthesis. Dna primer complementary to a short sequence in template. Normal dna nucleotides- 2"-deoxy-atp, ctp, gtp, and ttp. Abbreviated as 2"-deoxy-ntp, or dntp ( n = any nucleotide) Lack oxygen on the 2" and 3" carbon (have h instead of oh) Absence of the 3"-oh terminates dna synthesis because next nucleotide cannot be added (dna polymerase requires a 3"-oh to add next base to; cannot join to 3"-h) (cid:1) In sanger sequencing, every newly-made strand ends w/ a ddntp (cid:1) The terminal base can be identified because each ddntp is tagged w/ a different fluorescent dye (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) Dna primer- 18-22 nt long: primer is synthesized by methods of organic chemistry, when mixed w/ the template it matches up via complementary base pairing (dna hybridization)

2. The output from an automatedsequencing reaction shows a series of fluorescent peaks. Whenconsidering the data output, why are some peaks larger thanothers?

a. Chain termination occurred more frequently at the basecorresponding to a large peak, producing a relatively largerfluorescent signal.

b. The primer had multiple bases fluorescently labeled forproducts corresponding to the larger peaks.

c. More bases were fluorescently labeled in the DNA strandscorresponding to the larger peaks.

d. Some fluorescent colors are brighter than others.

3. What allows chain terminationto occur at each base of the template during an automatedsequencing reaction?

a. the presence of a relatively low concentration of ddNTPs

b. the presence of a relatively low concentration of dNTPs

c. the presence of a relatively high concentration of ddNTPs

d. the presence of a relatively high concentration of dNTPs

4. In automated fluorescent sequencing, what would happen if thefluorescently labeled ddATP was inadvertently omitted from thereaction?

a. DNA polymerase does not function without equal concentrationsof the four nucleotides

b there would be gaps in the sequence where thymines werepresent in the template DNA strand

c. the sequence would end where the first thymine wasencountered on the template DNA strand

d. the sequence would end where the first adenine should beincorporated

3. How do fatty acids of different carbon lengths cross into the mitochondrial matrix for oxidation?

A. Small FAs of 10 carbons or fewer can freely diffuse through the membrane

B. Large FAs are cleaved into two smaller units that are actively transported across the membrane

C. A membrane-bound transferase catalyzes the conversion of long-chain FAs and FA-carnitine esters, which are transported across the membrane via a specific carrier
