Fatty acids from Glycolipids and phospholipids, on the other hand, have two hydrophobic chains that are too bulky to fit into the a spherical shape as micelles do. Thus, they preferred to form glycolipids and phospholipids as lipid bilayers, which are discussed in the next section.
DNA Helicase-The enzyme responsible for separating the two strands of DNA in a helix so that they can be copied during DNA replication. DNA Ligase-The enzyme responsible for sealing together breaks or nicks in a DNA strand. Responsible for patching together Okazaki fragments on the lagging strand during DNA replication.
DNA Replication. INTRODUCTION. DNA replication is the process whereby an entire double-stranded DNA is copied to produce a second, identical DNA double helix. To understand the functions of the proteins responsible for DNA replication, including helicase, SSB protein, primase, the sliding clamp, DNA polymerase, Rnase H and DNA ligase. to understand why the leading strand is synthesized continuously and the lagging strand is synthesized discontinuously.
