Biosynthesis of cellular and viral DNA and RNA has been a major
topic in molecular biology and biochemistry. The studies by Arthur
Kornberg and his colleagues on the in-vitro synthesis of DNA have
opened new avenues to understanding the processes controlling the
duplication of the genetic information encoded in the DNA and RNA
of bacterial and mammalian cells. Viral nucleic acids are
replicated in infected cells (bacterial, plant, and animal) by
virus coded enzymes with or without the involvement of proteins and
enzymes coded by the host cells. The ability of the virus to
replicate its genome within a relatively short period in the
infected cell makes it an excellent biological tool for studying
the molecular events in nucleic acid replication. Indeed, the
identification of a number of virus-coded proteins that participate
in the biosynthesis of X174 and SV40 DNA has led to the
construction of in-vitro systems for the study of nucleic acid
biosynthesis. Similarly, studies on the replication of other phage,
animal and plant viruses have provided an insight into the nucleic
acid sequences from which DNA synthesis is initiated, as well as
the proteins and enzymes that regulate the catalyse biosynthetic
processes. Investi gation of the molecular processes involved in
the replication of cellular and mitochondrial genomes has gained
momentum from the rapid developments in the analyses of viral
nucleic acid biosynthesis."
