Class DNAPolymerase

constructor

• new DNAPolymerase(position, variant?, isActive?): DNAPolymerase

• Creates a DNA polymerase.

  Parameters

  • position: number

    Starting position
  • variant: "PolI" | "PolII" | "PolIII" = 'PolIII'

    Polymerase variant (affects speed and function)
  • isActive: boolean = true

    Whether enzyme is active

  Returns DNAPolymerase

Readonly variant

canOperate

• canOperate(position): boolean

• Checks if this enzyme can operate at the given position.

  Parameters

  • position: number

    Position to check

  Returns boolean

  True if enzyme can operate at this position

getSpeed

• getSpeed(organism): number

• Gets the operating speed of this enzyme for the given organism.

  Parameters

  • organism: OrganismProfile

    Organism profile for speed calculation

  Returns number

  Speed in base pairs per second

proofread

• proofread(strand): ReplicationEvent

• Performs proofreading (3' to 5' exonuclease activity).

  Parameters

  • strand: "leading" | "lagging"

    Strand being proofread

  Returns ReplicationEvent

  Replication event for proofreading

synthesize

• synthesize(basePairs, strand): ReplicationEvent

• Synthesizes DNA at the current position.

  Parameters

  • basePairs: number

    Number of base pairs to synthesize
  • strand: "leading" | "lagging"

    Which strand is being synthesized

  Returns ReplicationEvent

  Replication event for DNA synthesis
