Real-time imaging of rotation during synthesis by the replisome

Thomas M Retzer, Lional Rajappa, Masateru Takahashi, Samir M. Hamdan, Karl E. Duderstadt

The paper uses real-time imaging to study replisome rotation during DNA synthesis, finding that high-speed rotation supports continuous synthesis but reduces processivity and increases polymerase numbers.
