The source of this breakage is the incorporation of some uracil into DNA in place of thymine. When the uracil is removed by a repair system, the leading strand has breaks until a thymine is inserted. Thus, the lagging strand is synthesized discontinuously and the leading strand is synthesized continuously. This is called semidiscontinuous replication.

A new model for the structure of the DNA Pol III complex proposes a three-polymerase core structure, with two Pol III catalytic cores responsible for synthesis of the lagging strand and one for the leading strand.

Enzymes responsible for PTJ Helicase is hexameric and motor that melts the duplex and requires ATP hydrolysis—typically 1 ATP is hydrolyzed for each base pair that is unwound.
