This website focuses on how the replication fork and associated proteins work together spatially and temporally to make copies of DNA. Richard Losick has put together a simple, but elegant visual learning tool. |
| Learning Goals: |
Although these are not clearly stated on the website, it will help students to visualize and better understand the processes involved in DNA replicaiton. |
| Target Student Population: |
High school biology and undergraduate biology students interested in the molecular world. |
| Prerequisite Knowledge or Skills: |
An introductory knowledge of DNA and enzymes as biomolecules would be beneficial. |
| Type of Material: |
Flash Animation |
| Recommended Uses: |
This could be useful as a visual tool during a lecture on DNA replication or alternatively by sudents as a supplemental activity. |
| Technical Requirements: |
Adobe Flash. It works fine in Firefox, Safari and Internet Explorer. |
