Summary Introduction
To review:
Catenane and its role in DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) replication.
Introduction:
The transfer of genetic material from the parental cell to the daughter cell is only possible because of the process of replication. The information present on the DNA molecule is copied onto the new daughter strand during replication. Various enzymes as well as proteins take part in this process.
