Lagging Strand Synthesis

61.5K
During replication, the complementary strands in double-stranded DNA are synthesized at different rates. Replication first begins on the leading strand. Replication starts later, occurs more slowly, and proceeds discontinuously on the lagging strand.
There are several major differences between synthesis of the leading strand and synthesis of the lagging strand. 1) Leading strand synthesis happens in the direction of replication fork opening, whereas lagging strand synthesis happens in the...

Telomeres and Telomerase

27.4K
In eukaryotic DNA replication, a single-stranded DNA fragment remains at the end of a chromosome after the removal of the final primer. This section of DNA cannot be replicated in the same manner as the rest of the strand because there is no 3’ end to which the newly synthesized DNA can attach. This non-replicated fragment results in gradual loss of the chromosomal DNA during each cell duplication. Additionally, it can induce a DNA damage response by enzymes that recognize single-stranded...

The Replisome

DNA replication is carried out by a large complex of proteins that act in a coordinated matter to achieve high-fidelity DNA replication. Together this complex is known as the DNA replication machinery or the replisome.
The synthesis of the leading and lagging strands is a highly coordinated process. To explain this, the “Trombone model” was proposed by Bruce Alberts in 1980. The DNA loop formation starts when a primer is synthesized on the parent lagging strand. The loop grows with...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Carbon monoxide poisoning causes functional anemia by forming carboxyhemoglobin. While not always visible, carboxyhemoglobin levels indicate exposure, not symptom severity.

Area of Science:

  • Toxicology
  • Biochemistry
  • Clinical Medicine

Background:

  • Carbon monoxide (CO) toxicity involves binding to hemoglobin, forming carboxyhemoglobin (COHb).
  • This binding leads to functional anemia and impaired oxygen transport.
  • The characteristic

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the significance of carboxyhemoglobin levels in carbon monoxide poisoning.
  • To discuss measurement methods and interpretation of carboxyhemoglobin levels.
  • To clarify the utility of carboxyhemoglobin as a marker of CO exposure.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review on carbon monoxide poisoning and carboxyhemoglobin measurement.
  • Analysis of carboxyhemoglobin levels in smokers and non-smokers.
  • Comparison of different measurement techniques: pulse CO-oximetry and laboratory CO-oximetry.

Main Results:

  • Carboxyhemoglobin levels are stable and can be measured accurately in transported blood samples.
  • Arterial and venous carboxyhemoglobin levels are clinically equivalent.
  • Normal carboxyhemoglobin levels are <2% in non-smokers and <5% in smokers; levels >9% strongly suggest CO exposure.

Conclusions:

  • Carboxyhemoglobin levels are a reliable marker of carbon monoxide exposure.
  • Measurement of carboxyhemoglobin is crucial for diagnosing CO poisoning.
  • Carboxyhemoglobin levels do not correlate with clinical symptoms or patient outcomes.
