DNA Enzymes and components Flashcards
1
Q
What is DNA polymerase?
A
Enzyme that replicate DNA to access the sequence
2
Q
What is helicase?
A
The enzyme that unwind DNA
3
Q
What are SSBPs/SSBs/SSPs?
A
binds to the freed bases and prevent DNA from re annealing (DNA reforming back into 2 stranded)
4
Q
What are DNA primase?
A
synthesizes RNA primers (required for DNA primers to add nucleotides to the growing strands)
5
Q
What are okazaki fragments
A
short sequences of DNA found on lagging strands
6
Q
What is topoisomerase
A
de tangles DNA for helicase
7
