| DNA polymerases |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| • | Are
proteins that replicate DNA |
||||||
| • | Have
multiple domains or subunits |
||||||
| • | A
good polymerase domain has a |
||||||
| misincorporation rate of 10-5 (1/100,000) |
|||||||
| • | |||||||
| Any
misincorps are clipped off with 99% |
|||||||
| efficiency
by the “proofreading” activity of |
|||||||
| the polymerase |
