The replisome is a complex of proteins and enzymes responsible for DNA replication in cells. It assembles at the replication fork, where the double-stranded DNA unwinds, allowing each strand to serve as a template for creating new DNA. Key components of the replisome include DNA polymerase, helicase, and primase. During replication, the replisome ensures that DNA is copied accurately and efficiently. DNA polymerase synthesizes new DNA strands by adding nucleotides complementary to the template strands. The replisome plays a crucial role in cell division, ensuring that each daughter cell receives an exact copy of the genetic material.
