Developing Strand Direction Specific Nucleotide End Dna Polymerase

Front What direction does DNA polymerase act in and why?
Back - 5' to 3' direction of the developing strand

- specific tertiary structure 
- binding site with specific shape that is
- only complementary to nucleotide to 3' end of developing strand

- 5' end of developing strand has differently shaped nucleotide
