The noble gases are left out of the trends in atomic radii because there is great debate over the experimental values of their atomic radii.

The SI units for measuring atomic radii are the nanometer (nm) and the picometer (pm). 1 nm = 1 X 109 m; 1 pm = 1 X 10-12 m.

#Unit 3. Fundamental Processes

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.

#Unit 3. Fundamental Processes

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.

#Unit 3. Fundamental Processes

Each DNA helicase moves along ssDNA in a defined direction. This property is referred to as the polarity of the DNA helicase. DNA helicases can have a polarity of either 5’->3’ or 3’->5’.

#Unit 3. Fundamental Processes

In the case of a DNA helicase that functions on the lagging-strand template of the replication fork, the polarity is 5’->3’ to allow the DNA helicase to proceed toward the duplex region of the replication fork The PhiX system, named originally for phage X174, requires an initiation complex consisting of additional components, called the primosome. This system is used when damage causes the replication fork to collapse and it must be restarted.
