Some enzymes have a very important function in the process of DNA replication. What would be the consequence for DNA replication in case of a loss of function:

a. DNA Polymerase III

b. SSB proteins

b. SSB proteins

These stabilize the double helix from reannealing after they've been split apart.

Single-stranded DNA-binding protein, or SSB, binds to single-stranded regions of DNA to prevent premature annealing, to protect the single-stranded DNA from being digested by nucleases, and to remove secondary structure from the DNA to allow other enzymes to function effectively upon it.

DNA polymerase III turns out to be the main enzyme involved in DNA replication. Without it, DNA replication wouldn't occur. Slight Smile
