Why does a new DNA strand elongate only in the 5' to 3' direction during DNA replication?

#Unit 3. Fundamental Processes
  1. DNA polymerase begins adding nucleotides at the 5' end of the template.

  2. The polarity of the DNA molecule prevents addition of nucleotides at the 3' end.

  3. Replication must progress toward the replication fork.

  4. DNA polymerase can add nucleotides only to the free 3' end.

In a certain enzyme-catalyzed reaction the following steps occur:

1. A phosphate group on substrate A is transferred to a side chain of an active site residue of the enzyme.

2. The dephosphorylated form of substrate A dissociates from the enzyme.

3. Substrate B enters the active site and is phosphorylated with simultaneous regeneration of the enzyme in its original form.
