what are dna polymerase inhibitors?
436067
Four types of polymerase inhibitors are recognized: substrate analogs (nucleoside and nucleotide analogs), product analogs (pyrophosphate analogs), allosteric inhibitors (non-nucleoside inhibitors), and inhibitors that intercalate or directly interact with nucleic acids.

Mechanism of action 5-FU acts in several ways, but principally as a thymidylate synthase (TS) inhibitor. Interrupting the action of this enzyme blocks synthesis of the pyrimidine thymidylate (dTMP), which is a nucleotide required for DNA replication.

What are the four main components of a PCR DNA amplification reaction? DNA Template, Taq DNA Polymerase, Oligonucleotide Primers, and Nucleotides.

Histone deacetylase inhibitors are thought to act by inhibiting DNA repair, altering gene expression and making post-translational modifications to proteins [3]. In addition, HDAC inhibitors have been shown to stop the proliferation of cancer cells, stimulate apoptosis (cell death) and arrest the cell cycle [3].

Mutations are mistakes made when replicating DNA. The DNA polymerases fix these mutations by replacing the incorrect nucleotide with the correct nucleotide. State the effect of multiple replication forks on the speed of replication in eukaryotes.

Antibiotic action: Rifampin impairs RNA synthesis by inhibiting DNA-dependent RNA polymerase. Rifampin may be bacteriostatic or bactericidal, depending on organism susceptibility and drug level at infection site.

Taq DNA polymerase is the most common enzyme used for PCR amplification. This enzyme is extremely heat resistant with a half-life of 40 minutes at 95°C. At its optimal temperature (72°C), nucleotides are incorporated at a rate of 2–4 kilobases per minute.

In DNA replication in bacteria, the enzyme DNA polymerase III (abbreviated DNA pol III) adds nucleotides to a template strand of DNA. But DNA pol III cannot start a new strand from scratch.

DNA polymerase III holoenzyme is the enzyme primarily responsible for replicative DNA synthesis in E. coli. It carries out primer-initiated 5' to 3' polymerization of DNA on a single-stranded DNA template, as well as 3' to 5' exonucleolytic editing of mispaired nucleotides.

In contrast to cellular DNA replication, which amplifies all of a cell's DNA during a replication cycle, PCR does targeted amplification to replicate only a segment of DNA bounded by the two primers that determine where DNA polymerase begins replication.

A mitotic inhibitor is a drug that inhibits mitosis, or cell division. These drugs disrupt microtubules, which are structures that pull the chromosomes apart when a cell divides.

RNA polymerase. ... a small RNA that can catalyze a specific chemical reaction. Transcription and replication are alike in that both. are guided by complementary base pairing.

In eukaryotic cells, DNA polymerases can be found in the nucleus, mitochondria and chloroplasts (mitochondria and chloroplasts have circular DNA molecules). In prokaryotic cells, the DNA polymerases are located in the cytoplasm (there aren't any compartiments).
562076
An enzyme inhibitor is a molecule that binds to an enzyme and decreases its activity. ... The binding of an inhibitor can stop a substrate from entering the enzyme's active site and/or hinder the enzyme from catalyzing its reaction. Inhibitor binding is either reversible or irreversible.

At the eukaryotic replication fork, there are three distinct replicative polymerase complexes that contribute to DNA replication: Polymerase α, Polymerase δ, and Polymerase ε. These three polymerases are essential for viability of the cell.
