Dna Replication Enzymes And Their Functions Pdf. As its name implies and like the rna polyme rases it takes its instructions from the parental template dna strand. Responsible for most chromosomal dna replication in e.
Coli but functions in vivo both in dna replication and dna repair. The polymerase starts replication at the 3 end of the primer and copies the opposite strand in most cases of natural dna replication the primer for dna synthesis and replication is a short strand of rna. 1 the 5 3 polymerase activity is responsible for primer extension or dna synthesis.
Responsible for most chromosomal dna replication in e.
The dna is around by the dna b helicase at the replication fork dna primase occasionally associates with dna b helicase and synthesizes a short rna primer. In these descriptions you will encounter several cases of structure suggesting a particular function. In the remaining sections of the chapter we focus on the enzymes that mediate dna replication. 1 the 5 3 polymerase activity is responsible for primer extension or dna synthesis.
