In which books can I find detail literature on the functions of different enzymes and proteins involved in DNA replication in E.coli ? Provide names of books accessible online, if you please.

Proofreading is a mechanism by which DNA polymerase corrects replication mistakes. Enzyme recognizes imperfection between newly paired nucleotides, deletes the last nucleotide and adds the correct one. As a result...

Multiple enzymes and proteins are required for DNA replication at a replication fork.• These include DNA polymerases, single-strand DNA binding proteins, helicases, primase,topoisomerases, and DNA ligase. Some of these are...

Semi-conservative replication creates two copies, each containing one of the original (parental) chains and one new (daughter).Helicase splits the chains of a double stranded DNA moleculePrimase synthesizes a short RNA...

DNA primase and DNA polymeraseDNA primase provides the starting point for DNA polymerase to begin synthesis of the new strand.DNA polymerase synthesizes DNA molecules from de-oxyribonucleotides, which are the building...

E. coli, as most microscopic organisms (bacteria), has a single origin of replication on its chromosome. As the DNA opens, two Y-molded designs called replication forks are framed, together making...

Since DNA polymerase requires a free 3' OH group for initiation of synthesis, it can synthesize in only one direction by extending the 3' end of the preexisting nucleotide chain....

1. The bacterial chromosome has commonly one origin of replication. However, the replication occurs in both directions from the origin. As a result, there are two forks of replication in...

1. DNA ligase is an enzyme that catalyzes the formation of a phosphodiester bond between two DNA strands joining them together. DNA ligase is present in eukaryotes and prokaryotes and...

There are three main steps to DNA replication: initiation, elongation, and termination. In order to fit within a cell's nucleus, DNA is packed into tightly coiled structures called chromatin, which...

DNA replication is the process by which DNA makes a copy of itself during cell division. The first step in DNA replication is to ‘unzip’ the double helix structure of the DNA.This...
