Question

The epsilon (ε) subunit of dna polymerase iii of

e. coli has exonuclease activity. how does it function in the proofreading process? the epsilon subunit

Answer 1

The epsilon subunit of DNA polymerase iii of E.coli which contains exonuclease activity functions in the proofreading process by removing a mismatched nucleotide. Nucleotides are complex that is consisting of a nucleoside that is connected to a phosphate group which forms the basic structural unit of nucleic acids which are known to be the DNA and RNA.
