Source sentences:
text: In order to replicate the 4.5 megabase chromosome of E. coliin 30 to 40 min, DNA polymerase needs to synthesize DNA rapidly, and in a highly processive manner.
text: For example, in E. coli, the DNA polymerase III holoenzyme synthesizes DNA at approximately 750 nucleotides per second, and can extend a DNA strand for several thousand nucleotides without dissociating from the template.
text: Remember, both template strands move through the replication factory in the same direction, and DNA polymerase can only synthesize DNA from the 5' end to the 3' end.
text: Directionality has consequences in DNA synthesis, because DNA polymerase can synthesize DNA in only one direction by adding nucleotides to the 3′ end of a DNA strand.
text: Since duplex DNA is antiparallel, DNA replication occurs in opposite directions between the two new strands at the replication fork, but all DNA polymerases synthesize DNA in the 5' to 3' direction with respect to the newly synthesized strand.
