DNA replication process. Diagram showing various stages in the replication of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). The process starts (top) when initiator proteins (blue-grey) separate the strands of DNA. Binding proteins (brown) and helicase (orange) then latch onto the single strands (second row). Primers (green), DNA polymerase (yellow), and topoisomerase (purple) prepare and form the new strands (third, fourth and fifth rows). This part of the process includes a sliding clamp (orange ring). Across bottom, exonuclease (blue), DNA polymerase, and ligase (pink) help remove the RNA primer (light pink) that formed during this process.
