What is the structure of the E. coli replicase called DNA polymerase III?
What will be an ideal response?
Ans: DNA polymerase III exists as a dimer. Each monomer of the dimer has a catalytic core for DNA synthesis, a dimerizing subunit that links the two catalytic cores, and a clamp for processivity. The dimer also has a single copy of the clamp loader subunit that is responsible for attaching the clamp to DNA.
