Document Summary

Fragments are eventually connected to each other to form a continuous. Multiple rna primers are made (not made at origin; made near replication fork as single stranded dna; direction is opposite to fork movement) Synthesis of dna is in pieces, okazaki fragments lagging strand. Rna primers will be removed by a special dna polymerase and filled in with dna. Dna ligase will join adjacent dna fragments. Binds to dna and travels 5" to 3" using atp to separate strand and move fork forward. Keep parental strands open to act as templates. Dna polymerase breaks a covalent bond to release pyrophosphate (2 phosphate groups) The remaining deoxynucleoside monophosphate is covalently linked to the growing. 2 important features of dna polymerase alone: dna polymerase can only work 5" to 3", dna polymerase cannot begin dna synthesis on a bare template strand. The enzyme can only add nucleotides to a nucleic acid polymer.
