DNA replication Protiens Flashcards
What is the first protiens that are used?
Helicase, single strand binding protiens, and DNA topoisomerase(gyraise)
What is the second protien?
Primase
What is the third protien?
DNA polymerase 3
What is the fourth protien?
DNA polymerase 1
What is the fifth protien?
DNA ligase
What does Helicase do?
Unwinds the DNA by breaking the hydrogen bonds between the nitrogenous base pairs
What does DNA topoisomerase do?
Prevents coiling ahead of the replication fork. Open dna strands to allow other dna to pass and then rejoins it
What does single strand binding protiens do?
Coat the single strands of dna near the replication fork to prevent the single stranded dna from winding back into a double helix
What does primase do?
Adds RNA primer 5-10 enzymes long. Primes the DNA synthase. Is the complementary strand
