I wish more attention was given to how the enzymes move in 3d space and are attached to other enzymes and co-enzymes on the lagging strand since it's not continuous and the polymerase (green) enzyme seems to just go off to be lost or something, otherwise, excellent video!

I think my DNA replication makes 9 million mistakes per billion.
