Reverse Transcription
uses the enzyme reverse transcriptase to make DNA from an RNA template
mRNA is pureed from cells of interest
poly -T primer binds to poly-A tail of mRNA; makes it DS
Reverse transcriptase needs DS nucleotide to bind and begin transcription
Reverse transcriptase uses mRNA template to make cRNA
RNA is partially degraded by RNases
DNA polymerase needs DS nucleotide to bind and begin transcription
DNA polymerase uses cDNA strand as a template to make DS cDNA
Result: complementary DNA strand containing DNA copy of mRNA
Polymerase Chain Reaction
Amplification of small parts of DNA in a test tube
Uses DNA polymerases found in thermophilic bacteria bc of its ability to survive high heat needed to denature protein
Exponential reaction: initial copy becomes template for other DNA segments
DNA is heated to melting temperature-> breaks hydrogen bonds between strands and allows them to separate
Becomes SS
Sample is cooled just enough to allow primers to bind to their specific complementary section of DNA
DNA synthesis:
Sample is heated to the working temperature of DNA polymerase
Polymerase binds to the DNA primer complex and synthesis of a new DNA strand
PCR rxn continues-> by third cycle you have DNA that is only from your area of interest
DNA segment becomes predom further in the cycle
The cycle runs 30x times

molecule with fluorescent chemical that emits wavelengths when light hits it
absorbs light energy→ light absorpotion excitation of electrons ->the fluorophore re-emits the absorbed light energy at a larger wavelength upon the electrons return to their basic state

cold
temperature in bilayer that results in phospholipids pack in tighlty making membrane rigid and inflexible; gel like consistency
→ Cholestrol molecuels counteract this
hot
the temperature of phospholipids where are loosely packed making membrane flexible, un able to hold shape; fluid-like consistency
Cholesterol: holds phospholipids together stopping them from becoming loose: increases rigidity
unsatured fatty acid tails
kinks in their hydrocarbon tail
Harder to pack; increases fluidity
Harder to freeze
Creates small spaces for small molecules allowing certain small molecules to easily cross the membrane
organelles without membranes
Ribosome
Centrosome (structure that organizes mitotic fibers)
Cytoskeleton: microfilaments, microtubules
Phospholipids
Phosphate group with hydrophilic head

Can be unsaturated: results in a kink in the tail
Asymmetrically distributed into two leaflets of the bilayer
Most abundant membrane lipids

Transmembrane proteins
types of integral protein
Span the lipid bilayer by alpha helical segments
ThreForms: alpha-helical proteins, and beta barrels with hydrophobic side chains
Monolayer associated
protein located almost entirely in the cytosol
→ amphipathic helix is snug in the bilayer
Lipid anchored proteins
Linked to one or more lipid molecules through different covalent bonds
Protein itself does not enter the bilayer
Peripheral Proteins
proteins that do not interact directly with the lipid bilayer
Associate with the membrane by interaction w/ transmembrane proteins or hydrophilic heads of lipids
Locaized at either side of the bilayer
