[edit] From PNA/Biology
- Origin of replication — refers to the "L box", "M box", and "R box". I'm guessing that these refer to the amino acids created, but, if so, it doesn't appear to be explained. — RJH 00:54, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Temporarily removed text
- The origin of replication a 250 bp sequence rich in adenine-thymine base pairs, which are more easily separated than cytosine-guanine base pairs. It consists of an L box, an M box, and an R box.
- The origin of replication binds the pre-replication complex. Specifically, the R box binds dnaA.
The origin of replication size varies significantly from organism to organism; I think it's only about 30 or 40 bp in some prokaryotes. We also need to explain what L, M, and R boxes are. If nobody else gets to it, I'll put something together in the next few days. I think dnaA might also be specific to prokaryotes--I have to check that.

[edit] Merge Replication origin site
The page Replication origin site covers the same topic as this page but with less information. I suggest it should be merged into Origin of replication. Celefin 11:46, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
- Well I assume silence means nobody minds...I will go ahead. Celefin 11:34, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
