The replication mechanism of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)

The replication mechanism of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) involves the initiation phase, where replication origins are recognized and unwound by helicases; the elongation phase, where DNA polymerases catalyze the synthesis of new strands; and termination, where replication forks meet and termination signals are issued. The process includes proofreading and error correction mechanisms to ensure accuracy. Additionally, topological considerations, such as the maintenance of supercoiled structures, are crucial for preserving the stability of DNA structure during replication.
