Are There Mutator Polymerases? [PDF]
The Scientific World JOURNAL, 2003 DNA polymerases are involved in different cellular events, including genome replication and DNA repair. In the last few years, a large number of novel DNA polymerases have been discovered, and the biochemical analysis of their properties has revealed a long list of intriguing features.

Bst polymerase — a humble relative of Taq polymerase
Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, 2023 DNA polymerases are a superfamily of enzymes synthesizing DNA using DNA as a template. They are essential for nucleic acid metabolism and for DNA replication and repair. Modern biotechnology and molecular diagnostics rely heavily on DNA polymerases in analyzing nucleic acids.

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2019 Maintenance of genome integrity is a key process in all organisms. DNA polymerases (Pols) are central players in this process as they are in charge of the faithful reproduction of the genetic information, as well as of DNA repair. Interestingly, all eukaryotes possess a large repertoire of polymerases.

RNA Polymerases of Maize: Nuclear RNA Polymerases [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1971 Two DNA-dependent RNA polymerases of nuclear origin have been purified from leaves of Zea mays . The two enzymes can be separated on DEAE-cellulose columns. Enzymes I and II are eluted with 0.08 and 0.20 M (NH 4 ) 2 SO 4 , respectively.

DNA Polymerase e - More Than a Polymerase [PDF]
The Scientific World JOURNAL, 2003 This paper presents a comprehensive review of the structure and function of DNA polymerase e. Together with DNA polymerases a and d, this enzyme replicates the nuclear DNA in the eukaryotic cell. During this process, DNA polymerase a lays down RNA-DNA primers that are utilized by DNA polymerases d and e for the bulk DNA synthesis.

DNA polymerase of mitochondria is a gamma-polymerase.
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1977 Mitochondria isolated from rat liver cells or mycoplasma-free HeLa cells contain a single DNA polymerase activity which is closely related to, or identical to, the DNA polymerase gamma activity found in the homologous cell. In rat liver cells, about 16% of the total cytoplasmic gamma-polymerase activity is found associated with mitochondria and in HeLa

DNA polymerase fidelity and the polymerase chain reaction. [PDF]
Genome Research, 1991 High-fidelity DNA synthesis conditions are those that exploit the inherent ability of polymerases to discriminate against errors. This review has described several experimental approaches for controlling the fidelity of enzymatic DNA amplification. One of the most important parameters to consider is the choice of which polymerase to use in PCR.

Polymerase Chain Reaction [PDF]
Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 2013 The advent of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) radically transformed biological science from the time it was first discovered (Mullis, 1990). For the first time, it allowed for specific detection and production of large amounts of DNA. PCR-based strategies have propelled huge scientific endeavors such as the Human Genome Project.

Biophysical Chemistry, 2011 Molecular motors can exhibit Brownian ratchet or power stroke mechanisms. These mechanistic categories are related to transition state position: An early transition state suggests that chemical energy is stored and then released during the step (stroke) while a late transition state suggests that the release of chemical energy rectifies thermally ...
