Since the discovery of DNA as the genetic material, scientists have been investigating how the information contained in this biological polymer is transmitted from generation to generation. X-ray crystallography, and more recently, cryo-electron microscopy techniques have been instrumental in providing essential information about the structure, functions and interactions of the DNA and the protein machinery (replisome) responsible for its replication. In this chapter, we highlight several works that describe the structure and structure-function relationships of the core components of the prokaryotic and eukaryotic replisomes...
