Document Summary

Replication: specific proteins bind to the replication origin, and promote the binding of the helicase enzyme, break hydrogen bonds using the helicase enzyme to pull strands apart and unwind them. The helicase enzymes work in two opposite directions to create the replication bubble. Sliding clamp protein hugs dna polymerase around the template so it can stay attached: dna polymerase 1 replace rna primer sequences with dna. Also in 5" to 3" direction: ligase joins gaps between the dna, that the dna polymerase 1 made, okazaki fragments. Origin of replication: small specific sequence in the bacterial chromosome. A replication origin is only activated once during the s phase of a eukaryotic cell, to ensure no portion of the dna is replicated twice. Primase initiates all new strands by synthesizing an rna primer. Rna primer: it is a short chain, only a few nucleotides long. Dna polymerase iii extends the rna primer with dna nucleotides as it synthesizes the new chain.
