Hydrolysis of metal salts
Many metal ions are strong Lewis acids, and in water they may undergo hydrolysis to form basic salts. Such salts contain a hydroxyl group that is directly bound to the metal ion in place of a water ligand.

Hydrolysis
This is a type of reaction in which a macromolecule is broken down into smaller molecules.
It is the reverse of condensation (above).

hydrolysis
(hy-drol-eh-sis) [L. hydro, water + Gk. lysis, loosening]
A chemical process that lyses or splits molecules by the addition of water; an essential process in digestion.

In solution, hydrolysis of a growing polymer would soon limit the size it could reach.
Abiotic synthesis produces a mixture of L and D enantiomers. Each inhibits the polymerization of the other.

Hydrolysis of the ATP results in a recA-ADP complex with less affinity for DNA.
The recA-mediated strand exchange proceeds at a few bp/sec.
If the moving branch encounters a region where four strands are present, symmetric strand exchange begins.
