Document Summary

After synthesis is done, each of the two new double helices has identical base-pair sequences to the parental dna molecule (cid:215) model proposed by watson and crick = semiconservative replication. Complementary nucleotide chains are assembled from enzymes: dna polymerase: more then one kind is required in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes. Nucleoside triphosphates are nitrogenous bases linked to a sugar which is linked to three phosphate groups. Nucleoside triphosphates used in replication have a sugar deoxyribose. There are 4 different nucleotide triphosphates, one for each base: datp, dctp, dgtp and dttp (d=deoxyribose, ie: datp = deoxyribose adenine triphosphate. Dna polymerase can only add nucleotide bases to the 3" end of an existing nucleotide chain, forming a new strand in the 5"-3" direction. The two phosphates get pushed off as the one phosphate closest to the deoxyribose sugar binds to the 3" carbon (removing the oh group) from the previous base.
