Just the proteins and their functions from table 16.1 of pearson
Helicase
Unzips the parental double helix at replication forks
Single-strand binding protein
Keeps the two strands of DNA separate and stabilizes the single DNA strand
Topoisomerase
Removes tension in the DNA, unwinds the strand ahead of the replication fork by breaking, swiveling, and rejoining DNA strands
Primase
Synthesizes RNA primers at 5’ of leading strands
Adds an RNA primer at the 5’ end of each Okazaki fragment of the lagging strand
DNA polymerase 3
Uses parental DNA as a template and synthesizes new DNA strands by adding nucleotides to an existing RNA primer or pre-existing DNA strand
DNA polymerase 1
Removes RNA nucleotides of primer from 5’ end and replaces them with DNA nucleotides to 3’ end of adjacent fragment
DNA LIgase
Joins Okazaki fragments of lagging strand
On leading strands it joins 3’ end of DNA that replaces primer to rest of leading strand DNA
