text: As DNA polymerases can only extend a DNA strand in a 5′ to 3′ direction, different mechanisms are used to copy the antiparallel strands of the double helix.
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.
