The following points highlight the six main types of enzymes that are associated with enzymes and some of them plays a key role in replication. The types are: 1. The Nucleases 2. The Ligases 3. Restriction Enzymes 4. The Polymerases 5. The Swivelases 6. Unwinding Enzymes and Proteins. Type # 1. The Nucleases: Enzymes which catalyse the breakdown of particular [...]
The Watson-Crick model of DNA has been the basis for further work on DNA replication, mutation and recombination. Much evidence exists to establish the validity of this model. Nevertheless, the model has been scrutinized by other workers, and from time to time other models have been suggested by Wu (1970), Arnott (1968), Wang (1979) and a few others. Wang's model [...]
