Competitive inhibitors act to slow the rate of a reaction by actively competing with the substrate at the active site of the molecule it wishes to bind to. If this active site contains an inhibitor then the ...

DNA (deoxyribose nucleic acid) is made of up two strands of nucleotides that are twisted together to make a double helix (twisted structure). Each nucleotide consists of nitrogenous bases and a backbone of d...

Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is a method of DNA amplification. This method utilises complementary primers which target a fragment of interest within DNA. It is made up of cycles of repeated heating and co...

DNA replication is the process by which DNA makes a copy of itself. This happens before cell division so that each daughter cell receives an identical copy of the DNA. In order for DNA replication to occur, ...

Any 3 below You will need a orginal DNA template - this is used for the DNA polymerase to copy the DNA. DNA is a double stranded helix and each strand can be used as a template for replication free DNA nucle...
