Dna Replication Enzymes Involved
• there are many enzymes they participate in the process of replication. The lagging strand begins replication by binding with multiple primers. Biology Pictures RNA Biology units, Teaching biology The main role in the process of dna replication is played by the enzymes that catalyze this process. Dna replication enzymes involved . Dna polymerase γ (polγ) functions in the replication and repair of animal mitochondrial dna. In eukaryotic cells, polymerases alpha, delta, and epsilon are the primary polymerases involved in dna replication. Initiation at an origin, the replication process first involves dna strand opening so that each strand of the dna molecule is available as a template. Register to view this lesson When dna helicase unwinds the double helix by breaking the hydrogen bonds between the parent strands of dna. Because replication proceeds in the 5' to 3' direction on the leading strand, the newly formed strand is continuous. Primers are short se...
