DNA replication in 7 easy steps
1. Helicase enzyme breaks
hydrogen bonds between bases,
A protein that catalyzes chemical reactions.
unzips and unwinds the
helix
?Helicase begins to unwind the DNA at the ORIGIN OF REPLICATION (a specific DNA nucleotide sequence)
It's common to only show one strands sequence of bases, since the other can be inferred.
Helicase enzymes move in both directions from the Point of Origin, forming a REPLICATION BUBBLE.
At either end of the replication bubble is a REPLICATION FORK, a Y-shaped region
where the new strands of DNA are elongating.
In prokaryotic cel there is one origin
In eukaryotic cells there are 100's to 1000's of origins
