Reader Mode Figure 1: Schematic of single-molecule experiment used to measure the rate of replication. (A) The progress of the replication process performs leading strand synthesis and thus converts double-stranded into single-stranded (plus another double stranded) DNA. (B) Because the “spring constant” of single-stranded DNA is larger than that for double-stranded DNA, the stretched tether recoils resulting in the bead position time course shown. Adapted fr
