Practice question
Question
Given below are a few statements related to enzymes and their functions in molecular reactions. A. Alkaline phosphatases remove 3' phosphates from DNA and RNA. B. S1 nuclease removes single-stranded regions from partially doublestranded DNA. C. 5' end-labelling of DNA molecules can be done by using polynucleotide kinase which transfers a 32P-labelled phosphate group to the 5' end of dephosphorylated DNA. D. 3'-5' exonuclease activity of Taq polymerase releases the reporter from the 3' end of Taqman probes in qPCR. Which one of the following options represents a combination of all correct statements?
Explanation
Alkaline phosphatase removes 5'-phosphates, not 3'. S1 nuclease degrades single-stranded DNA in partial duplexes. Polynucleotide kinase labels 5' ends with γ-³²P after dephosphorylation. Taq polymerase 5'-3' exonuclease releases TaqMan reporter, not 3'-5' activity.
