Question
This nucleobase, like cytosine, can dimerize when exposed to UV radiation.. For 10 points each:
[10e] Identify this pyrimidine that is replaced by uracil in RNA, which has one fewer methyl group. This nucleobase pairs with adenine in Watson-Crick DNA base pairing.
ANSWER: thymine [prompt on T]
[10h] Death of cells with damaged DNA can be induced via this tumor suppressor protein. This protein contains four identical protein chains and induces apoptosis.
ANSWER: p53 [accept tumour protein p53 or transformation-related protein 53 or TP53]
[10m] The core domains of p53 contain these secondary structures in protein. These structures can form Greek Key motifs and are either parallel or antiparallel.
ANSWER: beta sheets [accept beta pleated sheets]
