Topic: Semiconservative replication


  
  DNA replication   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
DNA replication or DNA synthesis refers to the process of copying a double-stranded DNA strand, prior to cell division (in eukaryotes, during the S phase (see also 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.
At the beginning of replication, an enzyme called DNA polymerase binds to the RNA primase, which indicates the starting point for the replication.

 Replication - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In finance option replication is the trading strategy used to ensure at a certain date the payoff of an option without trading this option.
Replication (computer science), the use of redundant resources to improve reliability, fault-tolerance, or performance.
Replications should not be confused with repeated measurements which refer literally taking several measurements of a single occurrence of a phenomenon.

 Possible Models for DNA Replication
Three ways for DNA molecules to replicate may be considered, each obeying the rules of complementary base pairing.
Semiconservative replication would produce molecules with both old and new DNA, but each molecule would be composed of one old strand and one new one.
Each strand acts as a template for the synthesis of a new DNA molecule by the sequential addition of complementary base pairs, thereby generating a new DNA strand that is the complementary sequence to the parental DNA.

 DNA Replication   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
The replication of DNA is built upon the existence of sequence complementarity.
In semiconservative DNA replication the original double helix is broken apart, one DNA molecule finding its way into one daughter double helix and the other, complementary, molecule finding its way into the other daughter double helix.
Fragments of DNA result from this discontinuous method of DNA replication (i.e., synthesis occurs towards the existing daughter DNA and upon the inevitable collision with this strand the DNA polymerase is neither able to continue polymerizing nor stitch together the two adjacent DNA molecules).

Semiconservative replication was proven to exist in higher plants with Nicotiana tabacum.
While the replication of one of the two strands can be easily explained at least in a strictly formal sense, is that of the respective complementary strand much more complicated.
Proof has accumulated that such selective replications are necessary for cell differentiation, the function of the cell and morphogenesis (organ and tissue formation).

 DNA Structure, Replication and Eukaryotic Chromatin Structure>
DNA replication is semi-conservative, one strand serves as the template for the second strand.
To prepare DNA for replication, a series of proteins aid in the unwinding and separation of the double-stranded DNA molecule.
The DNA molecule is unwound and prepared for synthesis by the action of DNA gyrase, DNA helicase and the single-stranded DNA binding proteins.

 Semiconservative replication - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Semiconservative replication describes the method by which DNA is replicated in all known cells.
Semiconservative replication would produce two copies that each contained one of the original strands and one entirely new strand.
That the semiconservative model was correct was verified by the Meselson-Stahl experiment and other even more revealing experiments that allowed for autoradiographic visualization of the distribution of old and new strands within replicated chromosomes.

 Steve's place - DNA Replication
Replication of DNA is semiconservative: each daughter helix contains one strand of the parental helix.
Recently replicated DNA is only methylated on the parental strand, and this hemimethylated DNA is resistant to initiation because it won't bind initiator proteins.
Replication bubbles are initiated by this multifunctional protein by its binding to AT-rich sequences in the ori.

This flash animation at "DNA from the Beginning" describes this experiment and some of Lederbergs experiments with DNA polymerase: A half DNA ladder is a template for copying the whole.
Use of two labels demonstrated that replication was bidirectional in prokaryotes and eukaryotes (the later label showed up on both sides of the initial label, showing that new DNA was being made in two places, on either side of the starting point)

 DNA Replication
They disproved the conservative model of replication after observing and analyzing a single round of replication, but a second round of replication was necessary to disprove the dispersive model of DNA replication.
Although Meselson and Stahl showed that DNA replication was semiconservative, their results did not provide any information on chromosome replication -- questions such as the number of places that replication started (origins) and the direction of replication remained to be answered.
In fact, he showed that lagging strand replication proceeded through the synthesis of relatively short polynucleotide segments that were then joined (ligated) together to form a continuous strand.

 DNA Replication
The nature of base pairing meant that if the two strands of a DNA molecule were separated, they could each serve as a template for the creation of a complementary strand by bringing in individual nucleotides to base pair with their complementary base on the template, and joining the new nucleotides together.
Conservative replication proposed that after replication, one DNA molecule consists entirely of newly synthesized DNA whereas the other molecule is entirely original DNA.
If semiconservative replication occurred, then each DNA molecule after replication would contain heavy nitrogen and light nitrogen, and would therefore have a density intermediate between the two.

In addition, a rather awkward mechanism is employed by the replication machinery to accommodate the inability of polymerase to extend a 5' end of a DNA molecule.
In a semiconservative mechanism, the parental strands would come apart like a zipper being unzipped as the base-pairing interactions were broken.

 The Meselson - Stahl Experiment   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
This mode of replication is described as semiconservative: one-half of each new molecule of DNA is old; one-half new.
As this interpretative figure indicates, their results show that DNA molecules are not degraded and reformed from free nucleotides between cell divisions, but instead, each original strand remains intact as it builds a complementary strand from the nucleotides available to it.
This is called semiconservative replication because each daughter DNA molecule is one-half "old" and one-half "new".

 Database Replication in MySQL
Replication allows you to take one database, make an exact copy of it on another server, and set one of them (the slave) to take all its updates from the other (the master).
Since a replicating database simply repeats statements, the databases are not necessarily exactly in sync, and advanced users can take advantage of this.
Replication is not a guarantee that the slave will be in sync with the master at any one point in time.

 Replication of DNA (via CobWeb/3.1 planet03.csc.ncsu.edu)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
DNA replication begins with a partial unwinding of the double helix at an area known as the replication fork.
The result of this side's discontiguous replication is the production of a series of short sections of new DNA called Okazaki fragments (after their discoverer, a Japanese researcher).
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.
