Fоr the fоllоwing three questions, consider the following scenаrio. Mаke sure you show your work in the spаce provided below. Also, save your calculations/notes, in case Dr. Tsotakos wants to take a look at them after the end of the exam. You have established a transcription assay in which transcripts initiate at a specific adenovirus promoter in a plasmid. Each transcript is 400 nucleotides long and has an overall composition of C2AU. These transcripts accumulate linearly for about an hour and then reach a plateau. Your assay conditions use a 25 μL reaction volume containing 16 μg/mL of DNA template (the plasmid, which is 3.5 kb in length) with all other components in excess. From the specific activity of the 32P-CTP and the total radioactivity in the transcripts, you calculate that, at the plateau, 2.4 pmol of CMP was incorporated. (The mass of a nucleotide pair is 660 daltons.) How many transcripts are produced per reaction? [blank1] How many templates are present in each reaction? [blank2] How many transcripts are made per template in the reaction? [blank3]
