DNA replication enzymes

1.

Helicase

unzips the double helix

2.

dna polymerase III

Adds complementary bases continuously from the 5'-3' direction

3.

primase

places RNA primers/flags starting sequence to mark starting point of DNA polymerase

4.

exonuclease

removes RNA primers afterwards

5.

DNA polymerase I

adds complementary bases to the lagging strand

6.

Topiosomerase

prevents supercoiling of the helix

7.

telomerase

uses RNA to rebuild telomeres(repeating units of TTAGGG that protect the main DNA)

8.

Okazaki fragments

-fragments of complementary dna and rna base pairs on the lagging strand

9.

DNA ligase

covalantly bonds Okazaki fragments together
