DNA replication process, diagram
DNA replication process. Diagram showing various stages in the replication of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). The process starts (top) when initiator proteins (blue-grey) separate the strands of DNA. Binding proteins (brown) and helicase (orange) then latch onto the single strands (second row). Primers (green), DNA polymerase (yellow), and topoisomerase (purple) prepare and form the new strands (third, fourth and fifth rows). This part of the process includes a sliding clamp (orange ring). Across bottom, exonuclease (blue), DNA polymerase, and ligase (pink) help remove the RNA primer (light pink) that formed during this process

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate process of DNA replication. The diagram beautifully illustrates the various stages involved in replicating DNA, shedding light on its origin and biological significance. At the top, initiator proteins can be seen diligently separating the strands of DNA, initiating the replication process. As we move down, binding proteins and helicase latch onto the single strands to stabilize them. The third, fourth, and fifth rows highlight primers, DNA polymerase, and topoisomerase working together to prepare and form new strands of DNA. A notable feature is the presence of a sliding clamp that ensures efficient replication. Along the bottom row, exonuclease enzymes are depicted alongside DNA polymerase and ligase enzymes as they collaborate to remove RNA primers formed during this complex process. This remarkable artwork not only emphasizes key biochemical mechanisms but also underscores genetic checks and repairs that occur during replication. It serves as a reminder of how errors in this crucial process can have significant implications for our biology. Science Photo Library has once again captured an awe-inspiring moment in molecular biology with this image - a visual representation that celebrates both scientific discovery and artistic expression without any mention of commercial use or affiliation with a specific company.
