helicase requires what to synthesize
Single-stranded DNA Binding Protein (SSB): enhances the activity of the helicase and prevents the unwound DNA from renaturing. Primase: synthesize the RNA primers required for initiating leading and lagging strand synthesis. DNA Polymerase: recognizes the RNA primers and extends them in the 5' to 3' direction. Processivity Factors: help load the polymerase onto the primer-template while anchoring the polymerase to the DNA.
