2.  The in vitro study of DNA replication was pioneered by Arthur Kornberg ( Nobel Prize in 1959)  Watson and Crick hinted that the replication of double helix could takes place to form a new DNA  Replication is the production of copies of the DNA (Genetic Material) during cell division  Modes of Replication 1. Conservative 2. Semi conservative 3. Dispersive

3. Parent Strands New Strand As parent New Strand Completely New Conservative Replication

4. Parent Strands New Strand One Old One New New Strand One Old One New Semi Conservative Replication

5. Parent Strands New Strand Mixed Old & New Dispersive Replication New Strand Mixed Old & New

6. Parent Strands New Strand One Old One New New Strand One Old One New Semi Conservative Replication

7. *In Eukaryotes,  DNA molecules are larger than prokaryotes and are not circular  Usually multiple sites of initiation of replication  Chromosome composed of many replicon *In Prokaryotes, single circular chromosome Only one replicon

8. Eukaryotic linear chromosome Prokaryotic Circular chromosome

9. Leading strand Lagging strand Fork movement

10.  Like virtually all metabolic processes, replication is under the control of enzymes  Three major enzymes-  DNA polymerase I (Arthur Kornberg; Nobel)  DNA polymerase II  DNA polymerase III

12.  Auto radiographic evidences leads us to believe that replication occurs simultaneously on both the strands  Continuous Replication (Leading)  Discontinuous Replication (Lagging)

13. Primer Formation Elongation Proofreading Primer Removal Ligation

14. The origin of replication in E. coli is termed oriC –origin of Chromosomal replication Important DNA sequences in oriC –AT-rich region –DnaA boxes

15. DNA sequences at the Bacterial origin of Replication

16. Initiation of Replication at oriC DNA replication is initiated by the binding of DnaA proteins to the DnaA box sequences –causes the region to wrap around the DnaA proteins and separates the AT-rich region
