Document Summary

Phosphodiester linkages: nitrogenous bases, bases read 5" to 3, complementary base pairing. A-t, c-g: the dna strands are anti-parallel. Dna replication is semi-conservative: parental dna strand separates. Each form a template for 2 new strands: each new chromosome is composed of. Dna polymerase: the enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of new dna, requires. A free 3" hydroxyl group: can only add deoxyribonucleotides to a free 3" end. Single stranded dna template: dna synthesis always goes from 5" to 3" Dna synthesis reaction: a deoxynucleotide triphosphate (dntp) is added to a dna polymer. Complementary base pairing determines the nucleotide used: phosphodiester bonds form between the carbons of the deoxyribose. Eukaryotic dna replication: eukaryotes have linear chromosomes, dna synthesis begins at multiple sites along each chromosome, dna synthesis proceeds bidirectionally from a replication fork, opening the helix 3/10. Dna helicase- breaks the hydrogen bonds between the two dna strands to separate them.
