Recent excitement in the DNA replication problem.

B Alberts, R Sternglanz

    Nature
    |October 20, 1977
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Scientists can now replicate DNA replication using prokaryotic enzymes in vitro. This complex process requires many proteins and energy from nucleoside triphosphate hydrolysis for high-fidelity DNA copying.
