[edit] DNA replication

Original - DNA replication is the process of copying a double-stranded DNA molecule to form two double-stranded molecules. The process of DNA replication is a fundamental process used by all living organisms as it is the basis for biological inheritance.

  • Question Oppose Do single strand binding proteins sit on the leading strand? I thought not because the helicase and polymerase were complexed there. de Bivort 14:57, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
    • Single-strand binding proteins bind with both of single stranded DNA, leading strand as well as lagging strand templates during replication.Alokprasad84 (talk) 16:29, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
      • Alberts et al makes no mention of SSBP on the leading strand (search for SSB). And there is lots of evidence that helicase and polymerase directly interact on the leading strand (e.g. [1]). SO, I'm switching to oppose because this is not shown accurately. de Bivort 19:56, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
