      I thought there wasnt an oh group in 3' as well since it a deoxyribose so instead of OH it has just H. I thought the reason it adds on to 3 ' istead of 5' has something to do with phosphate groups lr something. I did not fully understand it but its really interesting.

    • @x94mim
      @x94mim Рік тому

      @@ghffhghhdhh3600 So the 3' carbon is attached to an OH group which can attach to the phosphate group and form a phosphodiester bond which is how the DNA molecule continues to grow (5' to 3') and extend itself. The deoxyribose part comes from the fact that carbon two (not 3) is missing the the OH, and has an H instead.

    At 6:35 things get confusing for me. I presume this is a dynamic proces, so it developes in time. The (re)wound part on the left side is only formed later then the unwinding at the right-handed side. The video suggests round 6:35 that things develop from the left side, but that isn''t there yet, so the video goes with and against time at the same time.

    Why do Okazaki fragments have to be in fragments? How come once the polymerase is bound to the RNA primer, DNA polymerase can't just continually add nucleotides in the 5' to 3' direction?

      @szymonblida8304 7 років тому +3

      Adrian Choppa yeah i don't understand this too. As the DNA strands can be separated in both ways, why can't the lagging strand be replicated in the opposite direction continuously...

    • @seasq
      @seasq 6 років тому +14

      This is my understanding of the process:
      It has to do with how the DNA is unzipped. All of this happens simultaneously, so as it's unzipped, it's also being replicated. Since it doesn't wait for it to fully unzip, it has to do it in segments on the lagging strand constantly trying to keep up with the DNA primase and helicase. So, DNA polymerase will add in the 5' to 3' direction for 10-15 nucleotides worth of an Okazaki fragment as the DNA primase and helicase keep moving in the 3' to 5' direction (for the lagging strand anyway), then the DNA polymerase will quickly "run" past the fragment it just created and the one it's about to create so it doesn't fall too far behind the DNA primase and helicase and make another fragment in the 5' to 3' direction, and on and on it goes. All the while, DNA ligase is linking up all these fragments.

    • @shellymarie97
      @shellymarie97 6 років тому +6

      DNA Polymerase III can only add nucleotides in the 5' to 3' direction. Because DNA is antiparallel, there is one strand that goes 5' to 3' and the opposite strand going from 3' to 5'. When you use helicase, the hydrogen bonds between the nitrogenous bases are broken and the two strands are pulled apart in order to start replication. You still have one strand going 5' to 3' and another strand going in the opposite direction - 3' to 5'. The main reason DNA Polymerase III can't go 3' to 5' is because it just isn't oriented to do so. It has the wrong shape, if you will. So you're going to have one strand that's relatively seamless and continuous (leading strand), and you'll have your antiparallel strand with Okazaki fragments that lags behind (lagging strand). I hope this helped!

    • @harjotsidhu2716
      @harjotsidhu2716 6 років тому

      Because you're not unzipping them in separate ways. Think about it this way: if you first unzipped the entire DNA molecule, you could have DNA polymerase launch off of a primer and easily code. The problem is, it would take forever to just wait for the entire thing to unzip, and you can see in the diagram in this video that the lagging strand and leading strand are being replicated at the same time. Imagine brooming, but you don't start at the end of the room. If you have a tiled floor, you would start at the three closest tiles and broom toward you, and then go down six and broom those way back to the pile of dust you're planning on making. That's what's going on in the lagging strand. But once you have these fragments sitting around, you have to attach them together so that they connect. That's what DNA ligase does. I hope that makes it kinda easier.

    • @allissoftinside
      @allissoftinside 6 років тому +1

      from my understanding, at the lagging strand, as the helicase moves (from 5' to 3' direction of parental strand) it leaves single stranded region that will be filled with a primer. Then dna polymerase comes and fill in gaps with free nucleotides going to the opposite direction of helicase (3' to 5'). but then helicase keeps on moving from 5' to 3' again and creates new single strand region AGAIN and the rna and dna nucleotides attach to the single strand AGAIn and it repeats. that's why it is fragmented, bc there many primers formed. i guess you forgot the fact that helicase, it keeps on moving, creating new single stranded region everytime, and the fact that rna primase also moves in the direction of helicase. hope you understand.

  • @khansajia6219

    • @jamief415
      @jamief415 5 років тому +3

      I agree this wasn't explained very well in the video. There's essentially two factors at play here. Firstly, the DNA polymerase (the enzyme that builds the complimentary strand) can't start on single stranded DNA: it needs a few complimentary nucleotides that are _already attached_ to grab onto and begin replicating from. These starting nucleotides are called RNA primers and are attached to the single strand using RNA primase. Secondly, polymerase can only replicate in the 3' -> 5' direction.
      In the case of the leading strand, replication is "easy". A small primer is only required at the very beginning of the strand, from which the polymerase can continuously add matching nucleotides 5' -> 3' (_i.e._ in the direction of the parent DNA molecule) all the way down the chain as its being unzipped.
      Because the lagging strand runs in the wrong direction, polymerase can't just start from the beggining and work its way down like it can with the leading strand (as this would be going 3' -> 5', which it can't do). So instead what happens is small primers are peppered along the lagging strand which the polymerase grabs onto and fills in the gaps 5' -> 3' (_i.e._ away from the parent molecule) until it reaches another primer. Once it does it has to double back on itself and build up from the previous primer. Because the polymerase doesn't directly connect the phosphate sugar backbones of the DNA nucleotides to the RNA nucleotides of the primers you're left with a series of (Okazaki) fragments of double stranded DNA separated by short chunks of RNA primers. The primers are later replaced with DNA and to give a complete double strand of DNA.
      I hope that makes sense lol

    • @jasiram.9223
      @jasiram.9223 6 років тому

      DNA replication must happen in the 5' to 3' direction. So the polymerase enzyme works in that direction. Each phosophodiester bond can only be added to the 3' end, so it grows in the 3' direction.
