Key Equations

$$\text{dNTP} + \text{DNA}_n \xrightarrow{\text{DNA Pol}} \text{DNA}_{n+1} + \text{PP}_i \quad (\Delta G^{\circ\prime} \approx -3.4 \text{ kJ/mol per step; driven by PP}_i \text{ hydrolysis})$$
$$\text{Base selection by polymerase: } \sim 10^{-5} \text{ errors per bp}$$
$$\text{3}'\text{→5}' \text{ exonuclease proofreading: } \sim 10^{-7} \text{ errors per bp}$$
$$\text{Post-replication mismatch repair: } \sim 10^{-9} \text{ to } 10^{-10} \text{ errors per bp}$$

Equations are rendered with MathJax in the PDF with professional LaTeX typesetting.
