Prokaryotic elongation has a similar process to eukaryotes for synthesizing lagging and leading strands. however, Prokaryotic elongation also includes the process of removing RNA primers and linking fragments.
Both Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic termination come from replication forks fusing. However, Eukaryotic replication forks fuse from 2 different replication bubbles, whereas Prokaryotic replicaiton forks that fuse come from the same replication bubble.
Nitrogenous Bases
Purines are molecules consisting of 2 connected carbon rings. Purines include either Adenine (A) or Guanine (G) in both RNA and DNA.
Pyrimidines consist of a single carbon ring structure.
Thymine (T) and Cytosine (C)
Uracil (U) and Cytosine (C)
Sugar
Consists of pentose sugar called deoxyribose sugar which is missing a hydroxyl group on the 2' carbon.
Consists of pentose sugar called ribose sugar which includes the hydroxyl group on the 2' carbon.
Phosphate Group
Negatively charged phosphate groups link either deoxyribose sugar in DNA or ribose sugar in RNA through the formation of phosphodiester bonds.
Anti-parallel structure means that the two sugar-phosphate backbones run in opposite 5'-3' orientations.
DNA polymerase I and III
Initiation begins with a specific nucleotide sequence contained within the only ORI within the prokaryotic chromosome. A helicase binds to either template strand and begins expanding the replication bubble.
SSBPs will hydrogen bond to expoosed nitrogenous bases to prevent the dsDNA from reforming into a double helix.
Finally, Primase will lay down primers for DNA polymerase to expand into newly synthesized daughter strands of DNA.
As the replication bubble expands, the replication forks slowly move further away from the ORI. Synthesis of the lagging strand begins at an RNA primer near the replication fork on the 3' end of the template strand.
Elongation of the Okazaki fragment continues until the DNA polymerase encounters the RNA primer for the leading strand or the RNA primer for a previously synthesized okazaki fragment.
Elongation for the leading strand starts at RNA primers laid down at the ORI and is continuously synthesized from 5' to 3' in either direction towards the replication fork.
Elongation ends when DNA polymerase III runs into an already replicated portion of DNA.
The formation of 2 circular chromosomes, each of which consist of one parent strand and one newly synthesized daughter strand that are discontinuous and still connected.
At this point, the two daughter molecules are made continuous by nuclease first cleaving the phosphodiester bonds keeping the RNA primer in place. DNA polymerase I then adds DNA nucleotides where the Primer used to be, leaving a small gap until between it and the next strand.
DNA ligase removes the gaps by forming phosphodiester bonds between discontinuous daughter strands.
With the 2 new daughter molecules still attached, termination is the process by which the replication forks fuse thanks to recognizing certain termination sequences.
2 continuous circular chromosomes that are genetically equivalent and no longer connected.
2 helicase enzymes recognizes a specific nucleotide sequence called the origin of replication (ORI) and separates the double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) on either side of the replication bubble, forming 2 replication forks.
Topoisomerase helps relieve tension from the unwinding double helical structure of DNA as helicase widens the replication bubble.
As helicase moves in either direction away from the ORI, SSBPs hydrogen bond to the exposed nucleotides and prevent the dsDNA from reforming.
The enzyme primase will create an RNA primer which is elongated to allow DNA polymerase to bind and begin elongation.
The stage at which DNA polymerase extends the RNA primer or series of RNA primers with DNA nucleotides.
This strand starts at the ORI and is synthesized continuously towards the 5' end of the template strand or from the ORI towards the replication fork.
Starting at the RNA primer at the ORI, DNA polymerase III begins synthesis of the new daughter DNA strand continuously from the 3' end of the primer.
DNA and RNA can only be synthesized from 5' to 3', meaning the template strand is read from 3' to 5'.
Consists of a series of RNA primers going towards the 5' end of the template strand, but are synthesized from the replication fork towards the ORI in a series of Okazaki fragments. DNA polymerase then detaches before running into previous RNA primer.
As the replication bubble expands, Primase lays down an RNA primer near the replication fork at the 3' end of the template strand. As the primer is elongated by DNA polymerase III, the replication bubble continues to expand and a new RNA primer is laid down, which when elongated from 5' to the 3' will eventually end just before the RNA primer of the previous Okazaki fragment.
A series of short Okazaki fragments consisting of an RNA primer and an extended sequence of DNA nucleotides that aren't connected along the sugar-phosphate backbone.
Elongation ends when DNA polymerase III encounters sections of DNA that have already been replicated, leading it to disconnect from the DNA.
Another enzyme, nuclease, moves through the DNA and cleaves RNA primers. DNA polymerase then adds DNA nucleotides onto the daughter strand, leaving a small gap beetween where the RNA primer was and the next strand.
Termination ends with the final enzyme, DNA ligase, moving along the daughter strand and connecting the gaps between where RNA primers used to be by forming phosphodiester bonds.
Untwists the double helix structure of DNA at the replication forks. Helps expose DNA to replicating machinery.
Topoisomerase
Enzyme responsible for relieving strain from unwinding the double helix.
Single-Strand Binding Proteins (SSBPs)
SSBPs help DNA replication by binding to the unwound parent DNA strands to prevent the hydrogen bonds from reforming.
Primase
Since DNA Polymerase can only add nucleotides onto an existing chain, primase creates a short RNA primer which then can be used by DNA polymerase to create a copy of the parent strand.
DNA Polymerase I and III
Adds nucleotides to the 3' end of RNA primer, detaching if/when it reaches the next primer.
Removes the RNA primer and replaces with DNA nucleotides.
DNA Ligase
Nuclease
Aids in DNA replication and repair by replacing certain damaged or incorrect sequences by cleaving the phosphodiester bond.
Helps join the final nucleotide between Okazaki fragments to make a continuous daughter strand through the formation of phosphodiester bonds in the sugar-phosphate backbone.

Citric Acid Cycle
The Citric Acid Cycle refers to the sequential series of 8 steps that fix Acetyl CoA onto oxaloacetate, where the repeated oxidation of this molecule produces intermediary molecules and the energy is captured by NAD+ or FAD+. This process is aided by enzymes at each step.
This phase, primarily characterized by the carbon fixation of Acetyl CoA onto oxaloacetate, involves steps 1 and 2. More specifically, this carbon fixation allows oxaloacetate to enter a higher energy state, then being oxidized.
This phase, including steps 3 and 4, involves the oxidation of isocitrate and the other intermediary molecules in order to reduce NAD+ into NADH, along with using substrate-level phosphorylation to produce ATP.
This phase, referencing step 5, includes the use of substrate-level phosphorylation in order to synthesize ATP.
This phase, including steps 6-8 involve the regeneration of oxaloacetate by oxidizing succinate and other intermediary molecules to reduce either NAD+ or FAD+.
