Replication of DNA in Eucaryotes | Biochemistry

Although substantial progress was made during the last decade, all replica­tion mechanisms in eucaryotes are not yet understood because: (a) Replication is an event which occurs much more rarely than in bacteria. Initiation of replication is therefore highly controlled; this complicates the understanding of this process; (b) The DNA is not naked, in the cell, but in the form of [...]
