BIO 311C Chapter Notes - Chapter 16: Polysaccharide, Methyl Group, Telomerase Rna Component
Document Summary
Origin of replication the point in the dna at which replication begins; characterized by a particular sequence of nucleotides (the ori sequence) containing a large number of a-t bonds. Ssdna single-stranded dna; in dna replication, the dna after it is separated to serve as the template for replication. Dsdna double-stranded dna; two dna strands with complementary base-pair sequences joined by hydrogen bonds. Replication fork point at which the two dna strands begin to separate for replication. Replication bubble gap in the dna formed as the replication fork expands. Helicase enzyme that binds to the ori sequence and unwinds the dsdna at replication forks. Single-strand binding proteins (ssb) proteins that bind to and stabilize the ssdna after helicase unwinds it. Primase enzyme that builds an rna primer to begin dna replication; one primer is used for the leading strand, and several primers are used on the lagging strand to create.
