As you well know, DNA Polymerase III Holoenzyme (Pol III HE) is the major polymerase involved in DNA replication. During DNA replication, new strand is synthesized by adding nucleotides to the 3′ terminus of the primer that are complementary to the original DNA template strand. DNA synthesis by Pol III HE is very high fidelity with the error rate is low as 10–6 to 10–8. So, which factor contributes to this accuracy of Pol III HE? Pol III HE is a big molecule that consists of 10 different subunits. Continue Reading →
