Summary Introduction

To review:

The process by which new nucleotides are added to the 3’-OH end of the growing DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) strand.

Introduction:

DNA polymerase is responsible for DNA replication in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes. DNA polymerase can only polymerize DNA in 5’ to 3’ direction, which means it can only add a new nucleotide to the open 3’ OH group of growing DNA strand.

Kornberg showed that nucleotides are added to the 3' end of eachgrowing DNA strand. In what way does an exposed 3'-OH groupparticipate in strand elongation?
Why do higher salt concentrations stabilize the DNA double helix? Or What aspect of the structure of double-stranded DNA destabilizes the helix in the absence of salt?
How are deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates (precursors of daughter DNA strands) and ribonucleoside triphosphates (precursors of RNA strand) differ from each other?
