Site-specific recombination Site-specific recombination, also known as conservative site-specific recombination, is a type of genetic recombination in which DNA strand exchange takes place between segments possessing at least a certain degree of sequence homology. Enzymes known as site-specific recombinases (SSRs) perf... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=10095073 |
Site-specific recombination Recombination sites are typically between 30 and 200 nucleotides in length and consist of two motifs with a partial inverted-repeat symmetry, to which the recombinase binds, and which flank a central crossover sequence at which the recombination takes place. The pairs of sites between which ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=10095073 |
Site-specific recombination Although the individual members of the two recombinase families can perform reactions with the same practical outcomes, the families are unrelated to each other, having different protein structures and reaction mechanisms. Unlike tyrosine recombinases, serine recombinases are highly modular,... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=10095073 |
Site-specific recombination Energy stored in this bond is subsequently used for the rejoining of the DNA to the corresponding deoxyribose hydroxyl group on the other DNA molecule. The entire reaction therefore proceeds without the need for external energy-rich cofactors such as ATP. Although the basic chemical reaction... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=10095073 |
Site-specific recombination However, it has been shown that the strands are exchanged while covalently linked to the protein, with a resulting net rotation of 180°. The most quoted (but not the only) model accounting for these facts is the "subunit rotation model" (Fig. 2). Independent of the model, DNA duplexes are si... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=10095073 |
Site-specific recombination Excisions and inversions occur if the recombination takes place between two sites that are found on the same molecule (intramolecular recombination), and if the sites are in the same (direct repeat) or in an opposite orientation (inverted repeat), respectively. Insertions, on the other hand,... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=10095073 |
The Billion-Dollar Molecule is a book by journalist Barry Werth about the founding and early research efforts of the American biotechnology company Vertex Pharmaceuticals, which was founded in 1989 by Joshua Boger and was among the first biotechnology companies to adopt an explicit strategy of rational drug design as o... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=10099846 |
Cophenetic In the clustering of biological information such as data from microarray experiments, the cophenetic similarity or cophenetic distance of two objects is a measure of how similar those two objects have to be in order to be grouped into the same cluster. The cophenetic distance between two objects is the heigh... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=10106544 |
