8 important questions on Molecular Information Flow and Protein Processing - Templates, Enzymes, and the Replication ForkBidirectional Replication, the Replisome, and Proofreading

Process where two resulting double helices consist of new strand and one parental strand.

Semiconservative

What is the precursor of each nucleotide in the DNA strand?

Deoxynucleoside 5' triphosphate

Enzymes that catalyze the polymerization of deoxynucleotides and repairs damaged DNA. Synthesizing in the 5' to 3' direction.

DNA polymerases
  • Higher grades + faster learning
  • Never study anything twice
  • 100% sure, 100% understanding
Discover Study Smart

A nucleic acid molecule to which the DNA polymerase can attach the first nucleotide and is a short stretch of RNA rather DNA.

Primer

Synthesizing short stretch of RNA complementaty in the base pairing to the template strand DNA.

Primase

Area where replication of DNA will take place. Resembles a two-pronged fork.

Replication fork

Unwinds the double helix DNA and exposes a short single-stranded region

DNA helicase

Site on the chromosome where DNA synthesis begin where the protein DnaA binds and opens up the double helix.
