Learn about the phases of DNA replication in the cell cycle, including the S phase, DNA polymerase, and the molecular mechanisms involved. Discover the importance of DNA replication in preparation for cell division and the significance of replication fidelity.
The Enzyme Responsible for Nucleotide Addition in DNA Replication: Decoding DNA Polymerase
This article explores the complexities of DNA replication and the function of DNA polymerase, the enzyme responsible for adding nucleotides during replication. We explain the importance of accurate nucleotide addition, the structure and function of DNA polymerase, and discuss the consequences of DNA polymerase errors.
