Replication of DNA
Replication of DNA
Introduction
Replication is a fundamental process occurring in all living organisms to copy their DNA, as per the double helix structure given by, Watson and Crick in 1953 give the view of their gradual Separation of two half of a zipper. According to their proposal,"the replication of DNA is a semi conservative process". Both DNA as well as genetic RNA are capable of undergoing self-replication full stop theoretically replication of double stranded DNA could be conservative, dispersion, semi-conservative.
conservative replication would mean that double stranded molecule is conserved as such and that a new copy is synthesized from old molecule
In dispersive replication, the old should disintegrate and two new molecules would be synthesized
And last semiconservative replication, in semiconservative replication the tools and would separate from one another maintain their integrity and each will synthesized from a pool of nucleotides its complementary strand.the result would be that each newly synthesized molecule would carrying are conserved one of the two strands from the parent molecule and other stand would be newly assembled.
Meselsoln and stahl conducted an experiment to confirm semi conservative process in 1958 using the nitrogen isotopes, replication in the prokaryotes and eukaryotes occurs by very similar process. It completes in the three following ways-
Initiation-
we can say that initiation involve recognisation of the position on a DNA model where the replication will begin
Elongation-
it includes the events occurring at replication fork where the parent polynucleotide are copied.
Termination-
It is less understood it occurs when the parent molecule has been completely replicated

Point 1 -replication always occur atta stage found between two mitotic division called interphase
Point2-it is a semi conservative process the double helix DNA molecule formed as a result of this process consisting of an old is DNA strand of a parental DNA and the newly formed DNA strand
Point3-to heal a broken proteins of the DNA non conservative type of replication occur
The following requirements are essential for replication-
**enzyme itself is incapable of initiating the synthesis of DNA chain without the availability of the primer strand so the short segment of RNA are first synthesized using RNA polymerase.
**an enzyme DNA polymerase first degrades the RNA primer in order to replace it synthesis, small pieces of DNA okazaki fragments which unite with the main DNA strand in presence of ligase enzyme
**during the replication one strand is synthesized in one direction only and the other is other direction
**all the okazaki fragments of DNA unit in presence of another enzyme polynucleotide ligase to form a complete stand. Replication can be unidirectional and bidirectional from the point of origin.

Point3-to heal a broken proteins of the DNA non conservative type of replication occur
The following requirements are essential for replication-
- Unwinding protein
- DNA template
- A primer
- Magnesium ion
- Dinucleoid triphosphate
- RNA polymerase
- Polynucleotide ligase enzyme
- Super helix relaxing protein

Mechanism of replication of DNA-
There are several step in replication of DNA mechanism
- Activation of De oxyribonucleotides
there are four types of deoxyribonucleotides in cytoplasm that is,dAMP,dGMP,dCMP,dTMP. .. during duplication phosphorylase enzyme convert all four types of monophosphate in triphosphate. This process is known as phosphorylation.
REPLICATION OF DNA
2. Initiation of replication-
there are some specific point of a DNA called initiation point From which replication is start, these are hundred to 200 base pairs. This point Is rich in pair. In bacteria there is a initiation. Called as A=T base pair . During replication this point attached with the cell membrane, there are several replication point, In eukaryotic cells.
3. Uncoiling of supercoils-
Derek condense form DNA in nucleus the topoisomerase uncoil the DNA supercoiling.
4. Formation of RNA primer
There are a replication fork is formed in DNAThere are two stand (differentiated) InfoPark that is 5 prime to 3 prime (5'---3') and 3 prime to 5 prime(3'---5')direction.there are small segment of RNA synthesized on that strand called as RNA primer.*RNA primer is formed under the RNA polymerase or DNA polymerase enzyme.
**DNA primase+DNA helicase---------primosome
5. Formation of base pairs-
in the presence of DNA polymerase enzyme the for stand attach with their complementary nitrogen base with hydrogen bond. Complementary is Deoxyribonucleoside.
6. Deoxyribonucleotide triphosphate converted into monophosphate-
In the presence of pyrophosphatase nucleoside triphosphate converted into nucleoside monophosphate and release pyrophosphate.
**Leading strand-it is form on parents strand on 5' to 3' direction. It synthesisea in series manner, there have only one RNA primer for synthesise of leading strand for it there are no need DNA ligase.
**Lagging strand-It form 3'to 5' direction on parents strand. It synthesized small segment of polynucleotides called as okazaki, for several okazaki fragments there are several RNA primer , DNA ligase is needed to attach for okazaki fragments.
Leading and lagging strand-
after replication there is a fork formation on DNA called as reciprocal fork.which have tso stand 5' to 3' direction and 3' to 5' direction. DNA polymerase synthesized only 5'--3' and direction so we can say that the new strand is synthesized in 5'-3' direction on 3'- 5'stand (parental) but there are some small segments are synthesized on the stand of 5' to 3' direction of parent DNA called as okazaki .for the synthesis of primary segments there is a RNA primer and DNA polymerase III enzyme DNA ligase attached the okazaki fragment into each other
