DinB and UmuC are members of a distinct family of DNA polymerases found in many organisms known as the Y family of DNA polymerases. There are five translesion polymerases known in humans, four of which belong to the Y family.

In SEC if the analyte is large and completely excluded from the mobile phase within the particle, Kd = 0, whereas, if the analyte is sufficiently small to gain complete access to the inner mobile phase, Kd = 1 where Kd is distribution coefficient.

#Unit 13. Methods in Biology

In proteins, there are three types of chromophores relevant for UV/Vis spectroscopy:

peptide bonds (amide bond);

certain amino acid side chains (mainly tryptophan and tyrosine); and

certain prosthetic groups and coenzymes (e.g. porphyrine groups such as in haem).

The presence of several conjugated double bonds in organic molecules possess  p ®p* transitions in the UV/Vis range of the electromagnetic spectrum. Such molecules are very useful tools in colorimetric applications.
