    The document describes several key enzymes and proteins involved in DNA replication: helicase unwinds DNA, single-strand binding protein stabilizes unwound strands, topoisomerase helps with unwinding and rewinding, primase initiates new strands with RNA, DNA polymerase III continues building DNA strands and proofreads, DNA polymerase I replaces RNA with DNA and proofreads, and DNA ligase joins DNA fragments together. It also defines several terms related to replication including replication fork, leading/lagging strands, Okazaki fragments, and conservative and semi-conservative models.

    Helicase: 
    unwinds & unzips
    Single­strand binding protein: 
    stabilizes the strands of DNA
