Charts Flashcards
Removes RNA primer and replaces it with newly synthesized DNA
DNA Pol I
Main enzyme that adds nucleotides in the 5
-3’ direction
DNA Pol III
Opens the DNA helix by breaking hydrogen bonds between the nitrogenous bases
Helicase
Seals the gaps between the Okazaki fragments to create a continuous DNA strand
Ligase
Synthesizes RNA Primers needed to start replication
Primase
Helps to hold the DNA Pol in place when nucleotides are added
Sliding Clamps
helps relieve the strain on DNA when unwinding by causing breaks and then resealing the DNA
topoisomerase
binds to single-stranded DNA to prevent DNA from rewinding back
Single strand binding proteins
one origin of replication
