After DNA synthesis, only 1 mistake in 100 million nucleotides is made. What three factors play a role in this fidelity of DNA replication?
- The active site of DNA polymerase almost only attaches a new nucleotide when it is correct;
- DNA can identify a mismatched nucleotide and remove it (proofreading function).
