A DNA-centered explanation of the DNA polymerase translocation mechanism
Abstract DNA polymerase couples chemical energy to translocation along a DNA template with a specific directionality while it replicates genetic information. According to single-molecule manipulation experiments, the polymerase-DNA complex can work against loads greater than 50 pN. It is not known,...
