DNA polymerase


DNA polymerase cannot initiate a new strand, it can only elongate a strand that is already present. Synthesis of new DNA therefore cannot begin until a short strand of nucleotides is added. This short strand is called a primer.

DNA polymerase can only synthesize a new strand of DNA as it moves along the template strand in the 3' -> 5' direction.
Full article >>>

DNA polymerase occurs naturally in living organisms, where it functions to duplicate DNA when cells divide. It works by binding to a single DNA strand and creating the complementary strand.

DNA polymerase occurs naturally in living organisms, where it functions to duplicate DNA when cells divide in mitosis and meiosis. Polymerase works by binding to a single DNA strand and creating the complementary strand.

DNA polymerase: Enzymatic activity responsible for catalyzing the polymerization of DNA. Is dependent upon an annealed primer from which to initiate polymerization, and a DNA template from which to copy.
DNA probes: See probe.

DNA polymerase. See Polymerase. DNA polymorphism. One of two or more alternate forms (alleles) of a chromosomal locus that differ in nucleotide sequence or have variable numbers of repeated nucleotide units. (See Allele.) DNA polymerase.

cDNA -- complementary DNA produced from a RNA template by the action of RNA- dependent DNA polymerase.

It involves using a thermostable DNA Polymerase such as Taq (Thermus aquaticus) and repeatedly heating to denature strands of DNA, followed by cooling to allow polymerization of new strands.
Full article >>>

At the temperature DNA denatures (strands separate) proteins from most organisms (like DNA polymerases) also come apart. This presents a problem.

Eukaryotic DNA polymerases participate in chromosomal replication, repair, crossing-over and mitochondrial replication. To initiate replication, DNA polymerases require a priming RNA molecule. They extend the DNA using
deoxyribonucleotide ...

dideoxynucleotides - chain-terminating precursors of DNA synthesis that block further polymerization when added to the end of the DNA strand by DNA polymerase.

A Thermus aquaticus thermal resistant DNA polymerase. It is the first thermal resistant DNA polymerase used in PCR.

Full article >>>

Deoxynucleotides (A,T,G, and C) and DNA polymerase are added and, in a process called primer extension, the complementary copy of the ssDNA fragment is built. The result is two double-stranded DNA molecules identical to the original.
