DNA Replication Steps: 3 Steps | Biochemistry
The replication of the DNA can be schematically divided in three steps: initiation, elongation and termination. Step # 1. The Initiation Step: As seen above, no DNA polymerase can perform any de novo synthesis (contrary to RNA polymerases which can initiate by placing a complementary ribonucleoside-5'-triphosphate opposite to the DNA to be transcribed). The primer 3'OH which will serve as [...]
