Study Notes
DNA Replication
- Helicase is the enzyme responsible for unwinding the DNA during replication
Function of Single Strand Binding Proteins
- Single strand binding proteins bind to the single-stranded DNA, preventing secondary structure formation and protecting it from degradation during DNA replication
Initiation of DNA Replication in Prokaryotes
- DNA replication starts at a single origin of replication in prokaryotes
Semiconservative Model of DNA Replication
- The semiconservative model of DNA replication states that each new double strand consists of one old strand (from the parent molecule) and one new strand synthesized during replication
Role of ATP in DNA Replication
- ATP provides energy for the process of DNA replication
Models of DNA Replication
- The semiconservative model states that each double strand consists of one parental strand and one new strand
