Mesh term DNA-Directed DNA Polymerase
Browse to parent terms:DNA Nucleotidyltransferases
Description
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.Browse to child terms:
