RNA polymerase:

#SCPH01 Biochemistry
  1. binds tightly to a region of DNA thousands of base pairs away from the DNA to be transcribed.

  2. can synthesize RNA chains de novo (without a primer).

  3. has a subunit called lambda, which acts as a proofreading ribonuclease.

  4. separates DNA strands throughout a long region of DNA (up to thousands of base pairs), then copies one of them.

You are asked to design a 15-nucleotide-long primer that could potentially hybridize to a portion of a specific mRNA that encodes the protein sequence N-Met-Ala-Tyr-Trp-Pro-C. How many different primers would you have to design in order to ensure that one of them will in fact hybridize along its full length to the mRNA?

You are a scientist who is using genomics to currently study a new bacterial species that no one has ever studied before. The following sequence is a piece of DNA within the coding region of a gene that you have recently sequenced.
 
If you take any bacterial gene sequence, before you begin doing any sequence analysis on it, there are six potential open reading frames. Why are there six?
