DNA polymerase is an enzyme responsible for synthesizing new DNA strands by adding nucleotides to the 3' end of an existing chain.
DNA polymerase is an enzyme that synthesizes DNA by adding nucleotides to a growing DNA strand.
| Front | DNA polymerase |
|---|---|
| Back | An enzyme that catalyzes the elongation of new DNA (for example, at a replication fork) by the addition of nucleotides to the 3' end of an existing chain. There are several [these]; [this] III and [this] I play major roles in DNA replication in prokaryotes. |
