why z dna is left handed?
235757
Z-DNA (default scene) is a form of DNA that has a different structure from the more common B-DNA form.It is a left-handed double helix wherein the sugar-phosphate backbone has a zigzag pattern due to the alternate stacking of bases in anti-conformation and syn conformation.

For left-handed coordinates use left hand. Coordinates are usually right-handed. For right-handed coordinates the right thumb points along the Z axis in the positive direction and the curl of the fingers represents a motion from the first or X axis to the second or Y axis.

DNA is double stranded, and the strands are antiparallel because they run in opposite directions. Each DNA molecule has two strands of nucleotides. Each strand has a sugar-phosphate backbone, but the orientation of the sugar molecule is opposite in the two strands.

First, not all restriction enzymes cut at palindromic sequences. A lot of them do though, simply because it is more effective. Recognising a palindromic sequence enables them to cut both strands of DNA at the "same" site, because the strand will have the same sequence only in different directions at that site.

But handedness has its roots in the brain—right-handed people have left-hemisphere-dominant brains and vice versa—and the lefties who claim Einstein weren't all that far off. While he was certainly right-handed, autopsies suggest his brain didn't reflect the typical left-side dominance in language and speech areas.

According to Amar KLar, a geneticist, about 90% of people are right-handed and their hair whorls are found oriented in a clockwise direction. The remaining 10% left-handed people have their cowlick on counter-clockwise direction. If a child has two or more cowlicks, the child will be a rascal.

Many parents, however, express concern when their children show a preference for using their left hands. They wonder if left-hand dominance is a sign of a learning disability. Rest assured, in most cases left-handedness is a normal part of child development and can even be an advantage in some aspects.

5' - 3' direction refers to the orientation of nucleotides of a single strand of DNA or RNA. The 5' and 3' specifically refer to the 5th and 3rd carbon atoms in the deoxyribose/ribose sugar ring.

In B-DNA, the most common double helical structure found in nature, the double helix is right-handed with about 10–10.5 base pairs per turn. The double helix structure of DNA contains a major groove and minor groove. In B-DNA the major groove is wider than the minor groove.

Although the three-dimensional shape of tRNA molecules has traditionally been depicted as a cloverleaf, X-ray crystallographic methods have revealed that the actual shape of a tRNA is an upside down letter L. Unfolded transfer RNA (left) has a clover-leaf shape.

Abstract. Proteins typically consist of right-handed alpha helices, whereas left-handed alpha helices are rare in nature. ... The smallest known water-stable right- (αR) and left- (αL) handed alpha helices are reported, each stabilized in cyclic pentapeptide units containing all L- or all D-amino acids.

The shape of DNA is a double helix, which is like a twisted ladder. The sides of the ladder are made of alternating sugar and phosphate molecules. The sugar is deoxyribose. The rungs of the ladder are pairs of 4 types of nitrogen bases.

Hebrew/Canaanite/Arabic is written right to left. Greek/Roman (and English and other European languages) opted for left to right.

Zinc-finger nucleases (ZFNs) are artificial restriction enzymes generated by fusing a zinc finger DNA-binding domain to a DNA-cleavage domain. Zinc finger domains can be engineered to target specific desired DNA sequences and this enables zinc-finger nucleases to target unique sequences within complex genomes.

Do identical twins always have the same hand preference? No! In about 21% of identical (monozygotic or MZ) twin pairs, one twin is right-handed and the other is either left-handed or ambidextrous. Since identical twins share identical genes, this is evidence that handedness is not a totally genetic trait.

The Z line (from the German "Zwischen") largely consists of alpha-actinin homodimers organized in an antiparallel fashion, thereby providing a backbone for the insertions of actin-based thin filaments, as well as titin and nebulin/nebulette.

Although most amino acids can exist in both left and right handed forms, Life on Earth is made of left handed amino acids, almost exlusively. ... Thus, the fact that we are made of L amino acids may be because of amino acids from space.
