Question

E. coli DNA polymerase III has a catalytic rate of 1000 nucleotides polymerized per second. E. coli genomic DNA consists of B-DNA, which has 10.4 base pairs per axial turn. How fast does a template DNA strand spin at the E. coli replication fork? Express your answer in revolutions per second, or rps. rate of spin = rps In B-DNA, base pairs are spaced 3.4 ? apart along the helical axis. Note that 1 ? is equal to 1 × 10?? ?m. What is the velocity of movement of the DNA polymerase III holoenzyme relative to the template? Express your answer in micrometers per second. v = ?m/s
