Document Summary
Lecture outline: overview of dna replication, dna replication in bacteria, pcr. Is dna replication conservative or semiconservative: dna synthesis is conservative. Once the dna strands are replicated, one daughter cells get both of the parental strands and the other get both of the newly synthesized strand: dna synthesis is semiconservative -- yes. Each get one parental and one newly synthesized. So if there is an error, you have a parental strand to use as a template to correct these errors. Nucleotides can only be added onto the 3" end! A new strand of dna can only grow in the 5" to 3" direction! Where does dna replication start? (origin of replication) 1) always start from the same location on dna. Only 2 h bonds between at -- takes less energy to open up the double helix -- replication machinery can get in there more easily. Recognized by and bound by initiator proteins.
