dna strand sense
Each strand of dna has a beginning and an end called 5 five prime and 3 three prime respectively. Dna is a long polymer made from repeating units called nucleotides each of which is usually symbolized by a single letter. The following strand displacement dna synthesis primed by an outer primer releases a single stranded dna.
One of the two strands of the dna double helix.

Dna strand sense. The other strand of dna the coding strand has the same polarity and sequence as the rna except that dna has t where rna has a u. The antisense is the non coding strand but ironically when you re making rna the proteins that are involved in making rna read the antisense strand in order to create a sense strand for the mrna. The sense strand has the information that would be readable on the rna and that s called the coding side. One strand is in the 5 to 3 direction with respect to the carbon atoms on the sugar deoxyribose and the complementary strand is in the 3 to 5 direction figure 1 a.
An inner primer containing sequences of the sense and antisense strands of the target dna initiates lamp. The strand that serves as the template is called the antisense strand. Two new double stranded molecules of dna are produced each containing one of the original strands and one new strand. Like dna rna is composed of nucleotide bases.
Dna strands are polymers or chains of deoxynucleoside monophosphates that are linked together by phosphodiester bonds figure 1 a the dna strands have the opposite orientation. The two strands run in the opposite direction antiparallel to each other so that one runs 5 to 3 and one runs 3 to 5 they are called the sense strand and the antisense strand respectively. To help molecular biologists specifically identify each strand individually the two strands are usually differentiated as the sense strand and the antisense strand. Because of the complementary nature of base pairing between nucleic acid polymers a double stranded dna molecule will be composed of two strands with sequences that are reverse complements of each other.
Rna however contains the nucleotides adenine guanine cytosine and uracil u. Keep these rules in mind when completing the extension activity. All of the rna in a cell is made by dna transcription a process that has certain similarities to the process of dna replication discussed in chapter 5 transcription begins with the opening and unwinding of a small portion of the dna double helix to expose the bases on each dna strand. Either a t c or g.
Transcription produces rna complementary to one strand of dna. The new strands are copied by the same principle of hydrogen bond pairing between bases that exists in the double helix. Chargaff s rules state that dna from any species of any organism should have a 1 1 protein stoichiometry ratio base pair rule of purine and pyrimidine bases i e a t g c and more specifically that the amount of guanine should be equal to.
