  DNA replication - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
DNA replication or DNA synthesis is the process of copying a double-stranded DNA strand, prior to cell division (in eukaryotes, during the S phase of mitosis and meiosis).
This origin of replication is unwound, and the partially unwound strands form a "replication bubble", with one replication fork on either end.
Each group of enzymes at the replication fork moves away from the origin, unwinding and replicating the original DNA strands as they proceed.

 Replication of DNA   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
DNA replication begins with a partial unwinding of the double helix at an area known as the replication fork.
This unwound section appears under electron microscopes as a "bubble" and is thus known as a replication bubble.
To replicate such huge molecules as human DNA at this speed requires not one, but many replication forks, forming replication bubbles and producing many segments of DNA strands that eventually meet up together and are joined to form the newly synthesized double helix.

Collapse of the fork appears to be essential when a fork encounters a lesion that blocks progression of the replicative helicase, DnaB, and which therefore might necessitate recombination with a sister duplex to bypass the lesion (8).
RecG provides the cell with a second pathway for replication restart that may allow replication to continue in the face of lesions affecting a single strand of the template, but which does not necessitate breakage of the fork (8).
The modification of replication fork structures is emerging as a crucial factor in the maintenance of fork progression in E.

As the replication fork opens up, a single primer is laid down and the polymerase continuously synthesizes DNA from it - there is no need to stop.
As the replication fork opens up, a primer is laid down and the DNA is replicated until it reaches the end of the DNA chain (or the previous DNA fragment for internal fragments).

Progression of a replication fork is blocked by a DNA lesion.
A potential role of WRN or a related RecQ helicase in the rescue of a stalled fork is to catalyze reverse branch migration past the lesion to reset the replication fork and the lesion can be subsequently corrected by DNA repair (IIIa).

While Meselson and Stahl's experiment and subsequent studies have confirmed that DNA replication occurs by the mechanism first envisioned by Watson and Crick, the details of the process are quite complex -- particularly in eukaryotes.
As the replication fork moves forward, it is easy to see how one new strand (the 'leading' strand) is synthesized in the 5' to 3' direction.
The fork is moving in the opposite direction to its synthesis.
