DNA polymerase
Enzyme that catalyzes (speeds) the polymerization of DNA. DNA polymerase uses preexisting nucleic acid templates and assembles the DNA from deoxyribonucleotides.
DNA Polymerase
A group of enzymes mainly involved in copying a single-stranded DNA molecule to make its complementary strand. 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 triphosphates (dNTP) as substrates and releasing pyrophosphates. The dNMPs are added to the 3' OH end of the growing strand (thus, DNA replication proceeds from 5' to 3' end).
