DNA Replication Explained With Zipper Model - Epomedicine
WEBJan 26, 2017 · Opening of zipper: Unwinding of DNA and formation of 2 replication forks. DNA topoisomerase II (a.k.a DNA gyrase in prokaryotes) removes positive supercoils ahead of advancing replication. Topoisomerase I nicks DNA, relieving torsional tension of the replicating helix.
DNA replication - Wikipedia
WEBDNA replication: The double helix is un'zipped' and unwound, then each separated strand (turquoise) acts as a template for replicating a new partner strand (green). Nucleotides (bases) are matched to synthesize the new partner strands into two new double helices.
DNA hybridization kinetics: zippering, internal displacement and ...
WEBAug 8, 2013 · Our simulations highlight two key phenomena involved in DNA oligomer hybridization: (i) initial contacts frequently dissociate before forming a full duplex and (ii) misaligned bonding can accelerate duplex formation through internal displacement. Both findings suggest possible mechanisms for sequence-dependence of DNA binding rates.
Single-molecule junction spontaneously restored by DNA zipper
WEBOct 1, 2021 · The DNA single-molecule junction with the present zipper configuration exhibited high single-molecule conductance that cannot be achieved using DNA junctions with the conventional...
DNA-RNA hybrid molecules keep the very centers of our cells …
WEBFeb 5, 2021 · DNA and RNA are like ropes that can be unzipped, stretched, looped, rolled, wound, knotted, and zipped back together. At times when DNA is unzipped, like when RNA synthesizing enzymes are reading the information in it, RNA can stick to one of the DNA strands like hook and loop tapes.
Thermodynamics and kinetics of DNA and RNA dinucleotide …
WEBHere we develop an approach to directly measure the thermodynamics and kinetics of DNA and RNA dinucleotide dehybridization using steady-state and temperature-jump infrared spectroscopy.

WEBOct 31, 2023 · The two main types of nucleic acids are deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA). DNA is the genetic material found in all living organisms, ranging from single-celled bacteria to multicellular mammals. It is found in the nucleus of eukaryotes and in the chloroplasts and mitochondria.
