  • DNA Dependent DNA Polymerases
  • DNA-Dependent DNA Polymerases
  • DNA Polymerase
  • DNA Polymerases
  • DNA Polymerases, DNA-Dependent
  • Polymerase, DNA
  • Polymerases, DNA
  • Polymerases, DNA-Dependent DNA

Note

  • general; prefer specifics

Scope note

  • DNA-dependent DNA polymerases found in bacteria, animal and plant cells. During the replication process, these enzymes catalyze the addition of deoxyribonucleotide residues to the end of a DNA strand in the presence of DNA as template-primer. They also possess exonuclease activity and therefore function in DNA repair.

History note

  • 98(68); for DNA POLYMERASE use DNA NUCLEOTIDYLTRANSFERASES 1968-76
