What does 5' and 3' mean in DNA and RNA strands?
Feb 16, 2014 · The 5' and 3' mean "five prime" and "three prime", which indicate the carbon numbers in the DNA's sugar backbone. The 5' carbon has a phosphate group attached to it …
Why is DNA replication performed in the 5' to 3' direction?
Jan 5, 2012 · Prof. Allen Gathman has a great 10-minutes video on Youtube, explaining the reaction of adding nucleotide in the 5' to 3' direction, and why it doesn't work the other way. …
Why are transcripts translated from 5' to 3' direction?
Feb 13, 2014 · What is the mechanism? In other words, how does the tRNA know whether the codon is in 5' to 3' direction? I also heard that anything that is translated from 3' to 5' direction …
Meaning of 5’–3’ in relation to ORFs - Biology Stack Exchange
Sep 21, 2020 · I assume you are referring to the "typical 5’—3’ order of appearance". The correct way to pronounce these is with the word "prime", that is, "Five prime to three prime". These …

Apr 11, 2016 · In eukaryote pre-mRNA I am having a little trouble grasping exactly what the 5 prime untranslated region is defined as. It seems that it could be defined as the difference in …
Why do we use word prime with base pairing in DNA such as 5-3 …
Apr 21, 2021 · I was reading base pairing sequence in DNA and found 5-3 direction but my question is why we are using word prime with 5 or 3 such as 5 prime 3prime. Prime stand for?
Transcription takes place from the 5’ to the 3’ end of the m-RNA.
Apr 13, 2017 · The reason why the polymerization of DNA/RNA strands only happens in 5' -> 3' direction is because the polymerases can only add new nucleotides a the 3'OH-group of the …
Does DNA polymerase I require a $3^\\prime$ end?
Feb 25, 2016 · DNA polymerase III adds nucleotides in the $5^\prime \rightarrow 3^\prime$ direction because it can only add nucleotides to the $3^\prime$ end of the previous nucleotide. …
Does DNA replication in 5' to 3' (leading strand) need RNA primase?
Oct 17, 2014 · The DNA polymerase also needs a RNA primer on the leading strand to be able to start polymerization. Afterwards this is not needed anymore, since the replication goes on …
How is the transcription direction of RNA polymerase determined?
Apr 22, 2014 · Transcription always proceeds in the direction 5' (5-prime) to 3' (3-prime) on the coding strand of DNA. Binding of both transcription factors and RNA polymerase to DNA …
