S-Cdk Starts the DNA Copying Process

Description

S-Cdk starts the DNA copying process by triggering DNA replication. S-Cdk is a cyclin-dependent kinase that helps move the cell into S phase, the part of the cell cycle when DNA is copied.

This step matters because the cell must begin replication at the right time. S-Cdk adds phosphate groups to ...

Transcript

In eukaryotes, DNA replication takes place during the S-phase of the cell cycle. The cell cycle control system, consisting of a network of regulatory proteins, governs the progression of the cell cycle.

The S-phase cyclin-dependent kinase, or S-Cdks, are enzyme complexes involved in cell cycle control during S-phase. This control system e...
