Molecular biology: Prime-time progress
Stephen D. Bell1
Abstract
DNA is duplicated within a complex macromolecular machine. Insights into how replication begins and how this is coordinated with progression of DNA synthesis come from a diverse range of sources.
DNA is replicated by unzipping the double helix to expose the bases that act as a template for copying the genetic material. Both strands of DNA serve as templates, and thus one double helix becomes two.
