How would you identify the protein that serves as a connector between DNA helicase and pol-a/primase? A simple yet often effective approach is to find proteins that directly bind to both enzymes.

For this reason, the lagging strand polymerase requires the action of a DNA primase enzyme before it can start each Okazaki fragment. The primase produces a very short RNA molecule (an RNA primer ...

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the energy-carrying molecule ... to other molecules in cellular processes such as DNA replication, active transport, synthetic pathways and muscle contraction.
