Concept explainers
(a)
To predict: How fast would each replisome move when the DNA polymerase III holoenzyme expands to 1 m diameter from 20-A° diameter.
Concept introduction: DNA polymerase III holoenzyme is an enzymatic complex that is involved in the prokaryotic
(b)
To predict: How far would each replisome travel during a complete replication cycle.
Concept introduction: DNA polymerase III holoenzyme is an enzymatic complex that is involved in the prokaryotic DNA replication. This complex has the maximum processivity, which can add number of nucleotides per binding event. It has both replication activity and proofreading activity.
(c)
To predict: The length of an Okazaki fragment.
Concept introduction: DNA polymerase III holoenzyme is an enzymatic complex that is involved in the prokaryotic DNA replication. This complex has the maximum processivity, which can add number of nucleotides per binding event. It has both replication activity and proofreading activity.
(d)
To predict: The average distance that a replisome would travel between each error it made.
Concept introduction: DNA polymerase III holoenzyme is an enzymatic complex that is involved in the prokaryotic DNA replication. This complex has the maximum processivity, which can add the number of nucleotides per binding event. It has both replication activity and proofreading activity.
