Question

E. coli DNA polymerase III replicates DNA at a high catalytic rate and fidelity. The catalytic rate of DNA polymerase III is 1000 nucleotides per second. In B-DNA, there are 10.4 nucleotides per turn. What is the velocity of the DNA polymerase III holoenzyme relative to the template in micrometers per second? Note that the axial distance between nucleotides in B-DNA is 3.4 Å, and 1 Å is equal to 10⁻⁴ μm.
