13 Points about DNA

Posted by Unknown 30 - Sep 0 comments

Replication (1 and 2) 1. New DNA can only elongate from 5' to 3'. This means DNA polymerase III will move in the 3' to 5' direction with respect to the old DNA strand. 2. The leading and lagging strands are not the same on both replications forks in a replication bubble. 3. Sequence of Enzymes/Other Proteins     Initiation - Helicase, Single Stranded Binding
