    DNA replication is the process through which a DNA molecule makes a copy of itself. We will explore the enzymes involved in DNA replication, the concept of leading and lagging strands (Okazaki fragments), and walk you through the entire DNA replication step-by-step.
    The first step in DNA replication is the separation of the double helix structure of the DNA molecule, which is carried out by DNA helicase. These separated strands serve as template strands in the DNA replication process.
    Single stranded binding proteins (SSB) prevents the single template strands from re-annealing, which allows the template DNA strands to stay separated and available for the replication process. RNA primer segments are placed on this unwound DNA by the enzyme primase.
    DNA polymerase (III) arrives at the site of the RNA primers to begin replication. The DNA polymerase moves along the template strand, and adds bases that are complimentary to our DNA template strand in an anti-parallel direction: DNA Polymerase reads the template strand in the 3' to 5' direction, but the new DNA strand is produced in the 5' to 3' direction.
    Eventually, we differentiate into the leading and lagging strands of DNA. DNA polymerase binds to the leading strand, adding new complementary nucleotide bases to the strand of DNA in the 5’ to 3’ direction as helicase is unwinding the DNA. Chunks of DNA, called Okazaki fragments, are then added to the lagging strand also in the 5’ to 3’ direction. It is important to note that DNA replication always occurs in the 5' to 3' direction!
    In the lagging strands, RNAse H (aka DNA Pol I) removes primers as DNA Polymerase (III) approaches. From there, DNA ligase combines the Okazaki fragments. This final step completes the DNA replication process.

    Minor correction: First: A-proteins separates the strands initially at AT-rich areas throughout the strand (so replication starts at multiple places simultaneously). (Not a critique, but you forgot them).
    Second step: SSBs keep the strands from annealing, like you said, while simultaneously helicase unwinds the DNA to further separate the strands.
    After that Topoisomerase is also important, since it reduce the tension, caused by helicase and thereby prevents supercoiling.

      The origin of replication depends on whether the cell is eukaryotic or prokaryotic. In Prokaryotes, the DNA is circular and there is only one origin of replication. What you refer to as A-proteins are the initiator proteins that bind to the origin of replication. In E.coli, the initiator proteins are called DnaA & DnaB. In eukaryotic cells,there are multiple origins of replication on the linear DNA molecule. The initiator protein in eukaryotes is called the origin recognition complex.

    I am Soo grateful for this! Been thinking a lot about this topic and always encountered problems when studing the lagging strand. Thank You for explaining it soo simply and understandably! The enzyme reads the strand from 3' to 5' but the new one is made from 5' to 3' carbon + since the helicase continues to open up the DNA and the ''lagging'' strand is making DNA in the other direction, it simply needs new primers from time to time to catch up with the replicaton fork!
