DNA polymerase catalyzes the reactions that are responsible for synthesizing new DNA strands in the 5' to 3' direction. The parent DNA strand is read in the 3' to 5' direction but the daughter strand is extended in the opposite direction.

The reaction catalyzed by DNA polymerase is?
There are different types of DNA polymerase depending if it's from a eukaryotic or prokaryotic cell each performing specific tasks. Basically DNA polymerase catalyzes the formation of a polymer, a DNA strand, from many monomers, deoxyribonucleotides.
What is replisome?
Assemblage of proteins (including primase, DNA polymerase, helicase, SSB proteins) that replicate the DNA. This complex involves in elongation of DNA and move along the complimentary strand.
What enzyme connects the new bases to the old bases in the DNA template?
The central enzyme involved is DNA polymerase, which catalyzes the joining of deoxyribonucleoside 5′-triphosphates (dNTPs) to form the growing DNA chain.
What enzyme catalyzes DNA replication?
one of them is heliocase. it 'unzips' the DNA strand. You can always remember this because it's in a popular joke: Q. Why is the enzyme heliocase a lot like a teenage boy? A. They both want to unzip your jeans (genes) !!!!!
How do cells monitor DNA integrity?
Cells monitor DNA integrity by using enzymes. Enzymes search for errors, for example, double strand breaks. Enzymes provide the function of a catalyst in order to bring about a particular biochemical reaction.
Does helicase catalyze the elongation of a new DNA strand?
No.
Why is DNA polymerase a machine?
A DNA polymerase is an enzyme that catalyzes the polymerization of deoxyribonucleotides into a DNA strand. See info at LINK.
What enzymes produced a new DNA strand during DNA replication?
DNA Polymerase
What must happen to a DNA molecule before RNA ploymerase can make RNA?
The double strand helix is opened by enzymes called helicase and this allow the RNA polymerase to copy the DNA strand. The double strand helix is opened by enzymes called helicase and this allow the RNA polymerase to copy the DNA strand.
What are the special enzymes of DNA replication?
The main enzymes involved in DNA replication are: Helicase: unwinds the double helix into two strands Polymerase: adds nucleotides to an existing strand Ligase: brings together the Okazaki fragments Topoisomerase: cuts and rejoins the helix RNA primase: catalyzes the synthesis of RNA primers Hope this helps!
Role of additives in PCR?
Reactants: (dNTPs, template DNA (to be amplified), primers(bind to DNA to begin elongation of strand), DNA Polymerase (elongate DNA), & MgCl2) in buffer + H2O
How many strands of DNA are there in a DNA fingerprint?
1 strand of naked genomic DNA cut by certain enzymes.
The reaction catalyzed by DNA polymerase is?
There are different types of DNA polymerase depending if it's from a eukaryotic or prokaryotic cell each performing specific tasks. Basically DNA polymerase catalyzes the formation of a polymer, a DNA strand, from many monomers, deoxyribonucleotides.
What is replisome?
Assemblage of proteins (including primase, DNA polymerase, helicase, SSB proteins) that replicate the DNA. This complex involves in elongation of DNA and move along the complimentary strand.
What is responsible for building the DNA strand?
DNA is build from another template DNA molecule using DNA polymerase, among other enzymes.
What is the process of in the cell where enzymes make a RNA copy of a DNA strand?
Transcription
What are the jobs of each of the enzymes in replication?
Dna ligase -the enzyme which stitches them together into a single ,unfragmented daughter molecule is called dna ligas. Dna helicases-opening of the dna double helix ahead of the replication fork. Rna primase-synthesis of rna primers for dna chain elongation,the enzyme is a component of primosomes. Dna polymerase-dna replication is more accurately described as polymerization.the enzyme which catalyzes this polymerization is called,dna polymerase. Submit by anupriyachatterjee.
