Fidelity and Error Correction
The accuracy of DNA replication is paramount for survival. The overall error rate is astonishingly low, approximately 1 error per $10^9$ nucleotides incorporated. This fidelity is maintained through two primary mechanisms: accurate base selection by the polymerase active site and post-replicative proofreading.
