1
New cards

Topoisomerase

Relieves strain and supercoiling ahead of the replication fork

2
New cards

Helicase

Unzips the DNA double helix by breaking hydrogen bonds

3
New cards

Single-Strand Binding Proteins (SSBP)

Stabilize unwound DNA strands and prevent them from rejoining

4
New cards

DNA Polymerase III

Adds DNA nucleotides to the 3′ end of the new DNA strand

5
New cards

RNA Primase

Lays down a short RNA primer to start DNA synthesis

6
New cards

DNA Polymerase I

Removes RNA primers and replaces them with DNA nucleotides

7
New cards

DNA Ligase

Joins Okazaki fragments together on the lagging strand

8
New cards

Leading Strand

New DNA strand synthesized continuously toward the replication fork

9
New cards

Lagging Strand

New DNA strand synthesized discontinuously away from the replication fork

10
New cards

Okazaki Fragments

Short segments of newly synthesized DNA on the lagging strand
