Term | Definition |
---|---|
DNA Gyrase: | Supercoiling of the replication fork |
DNA Ligase: | Glues it together |
Endonucleases: | (In) Repair |
Exocnucleases: | (Out)Repair |
Helicase: | Unwinds double-stranded DNA |
Photolyase: | Uses visible light energy to separate UV-induced pyrimidine dimers |
Ribozyme: | RNA enzyme that removes introns & splices exons together |
RNA Primase | An RNA polymerase that makes RNA primers from a DNA template |
snRNP | RNA-protien complex that removes introns & splices exons together |
Topoisomerase | Relaxes supercoling ahead of the replication fork; seperates DNA circles at the end of DNA repication |
Transposase | Cuts DNA backbone, leaving single-stranded "sticky ends" |
