New cards
4 main enzymes
- Helicase
- Primase
- DNA Polymerase
- Ligase
2
New cards
Helicase
unzips DNA strands to start replication process
3
New cards
Primase
sets down RNA primer for DNA polymerase to build off of
4
New cards
DNA Polymerase
adds new nucleotides to make new strand
5
New cards
Ligase
seals nucleotides together to complete strand
6
New cards
Leading Strand
built 5' to 3' to replication fork (5' near un split area)
opening is opposite
built continuosly
RNA primer only applied at start
7
New cards
Lagging Strand
built 3' to 5' to replication fork (3' near un split area)
opened opposite way
built in Okazaki fragments
RNA primer applied multiple times
fragments sealed together by ligase
