How DNA Polymerase Works

This video explains how DNA Polymerase works. It explains the direction of replication of DNA polymerase and it explains what is required for DNA polymerase to work.

This is hands down the BEST video explaining the nucleophilic attack : i couldn't understand a thing until I found your video. So thank you thank you thank you !!!

you just helped a freshman with his hw thank you

[dzkyclk]

Thanks alot bro, I have been searching for hours for a video that explains this 😍😍

with a polymerization rate of 1000 bases per second, and an error rate of 1 billion bases added/ 1 error, you can calculate an error rate of ~ 1 error every 12 days!! How crazy that is with 1000 bases being added every second. Mind blowing efficiency

Thank you, you’re the only video I can find hat explains this part!

I just signed in to say u r GENIUS, been watching many vids never got the concept really well like this
thank you

[johnweir]

Many thanks - very informative with the molecular description.

how DNA polymerase understands which base has to attach to the template strand?

[Kavaindia]

There has to be some necessity, some reaction, one process, one bond, one compulsion which makes this process sure shot ensuring 1 in billion accuracy.

How clever, just how did this happen ?

[PeteRoyJackson]

Great video. Any idea where the new nucleotides come from that the DNA polymerase attaches?

[diptanusaha]

Sir, please tell me the name of experiment that prove the opposite polarity of DNA

Why DNA is found in helix form not in stick form

[Kimi_]

Excuse me do we consider this part in intitation or elongation??

Why polymerase 3 needs primers to starts replication or adding nucleotides????

why polymerase 3 need a primer to start replication ?
