“The process of making new deoxyribose nucleic acid (DNA) is known as DNA synthesis. An enzyme polymerase catalyzes the synthesis reaction.” DNA synthesis is a natural process found in all…
Continue readingUsing the 3’ OH end of the primer, DNA polymerase adds nucleotides to the growing DNA strand for facilitating replication. Different types of DNA polymerases helps in different steps of…
Continue reading“The Single-stranded binding proteins (SSB) hold the ssDNA and facilitate DNA replication by providing ssDNA to DNA polymerase.” The process of replication is not a complex one as like transcription…
Continue readingPrimers in molecular biology are used as a start point in DNA synthesis, in vitro as well as in vivo. The DNA primer is used in PCR amplification while the…
Continue readingThe helicase is a class of the enzyme, especially, the DNA helicase that unwinds the dsDNA and facilitates DNA replication. We are learning DNA replication and enzymes involved in DNA…
Continue reading“DNA primase is a type of RNA polymerase which synthesizes smaller RNA primers complementary to the ssDNA for starting the DNA replication.” Not only RNA but in some organism, it…
