		DNA polymerase is considered to be a holoenzyme since it requires a magnesium ion as a co-factor to function properly.
		DNA polymerases have highly-conserved structure, which means that their overall catalytic subunits vary, on a whole, very little from species to species.
		η, ι, κ, and Rev1 are Y-family DNA polymerases and Pol ζ is a B-family DNA polymerase.

	Polymerase - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A polymerase (EC 2.7.7.6/7/19/48/49) is an enzyme whose central function is associated with polymers of nucleic acids such as RNA and DNA.
		The most well-known function of a polymerase is the catalysis of production of new DNA or RNA from an existing DNA or RNA template, a process known as polymerization.
		One particular polymerase, from the thermophilic bacterium, Thermus aquaticus (Taq, pronounced "tack") (PDB 1BGX, EC 2.7.7.7) is of vital commercial importance due to its use in the polymerase chain reaction, a widely-used technique of molecular biology.

	Polymerase Chain Reaction - Xeroxing DNA
		DNA polymerases, whether from humans, bacteria, or viruses, cannot copy a chain of DNA without a short sequence of nucleotides to "prime" the process, or get it started.
		But the primers cannot bind to the DNA strands at such a high temperature, so the vial is cooled to 55 degrees C. At this temperature, the primers bind or "anneal" to the ends of the DNA strands.
		Since the Taq polymerase works best at around 75 degrees C (the temperature of the hot springs where the bacterium was discovered), the temperature of the vial is raised.

	DNA Replication I
		Like all known DNA polymerases, DNA polymerase I requires a primer from which to initiate replication and polymerizes deoxyribonucleotides into DNA in the 5' to 3' direction using the complementary strand as a template.
		In 1969, John Cairns isolated a viable mutant (polA) lacking DNA polymerase I activity, an indication that polI is NOT the main enzyme used to replicate DNA.
		Interestingly, E. coli temperature-sensitive (conditional lethal) mutants lacking the 5'-to-3' exonuclease activity of DNA polymerase I at non-permissive temperatures (40 degrees C) are NOT viable (remember, the polymerizing activity of DNA polymerase I is dispensible!).

	DNA Replication
		DNA polymerase I is the main polymerase involved in DNA repair, and plays a specialized role in DNA replication, using its 5' to 3' exonuclease activity.
		The strand of DNA that is synthesized continuously is called the leading strand, and the strand that is synthesized discontinuously is called the lagging strand.
		DNA polymerase I uses its 5' to 3' exonuclease activity to digest away the primer RNA, and replaces the primer with DNA by extending the strand from the adjacent Okazaki fragment.

	Finnzymes - Phusion™ High-Fidelity DNA Polymerase (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Phusion DNA Polymerase exploits this dramatic increase in processivity, resulting in shorter extension times, more robust and high yield amplification, and the ability to do long templates in a fraction of time.
		DNA polymerase was added to the primed template at a molar ratio of ~1:4,000 to initiate DNA synthesis at 72 °C. Samples taken at various times were diluted in gel loading dye, and analyzed on a MJ GeneWorks BaseStation ® (MJ Research).
		Because of its robust performance, Phusion DNA Polymerase is capable of processing templates in the presence of additives such as DMSO, or in reactions containing impurities like debris from cell suspensions.

	DNA Synthesis
		Histone H1 occupies the internucleosomal DNA and is identified as the linker histone.
		DNA recombination refers to the phenomenon whereby two parental strands of DNA are spliced together resulting in an exchange of portions of their respective strands.
		DNA damage can occur as the result of exposure to environmental stimuli such as alkylating chemicals or ultraviolet or radioactive irradiation and free radicals generated spontaneously in the oxidizing environment of the cell.

	DNA Replication (Site not responding. Last check: )
		However, one of the newly formed DNAs must be synthesized in a 3' to 5' direction (since there are only two possible directions of synthesis and the two daughter strands are synthesized in opposite directions due to the antiparallel arrangement of the double helix).
		Fragments of DNA result from this discontinuous method of DNA replication (i.e., synthesis occurs towards the existing daughter DNA and upon the inevitable collision with this strand the DNA polymerase is neither able to continue polymerizing nor stitch together the two adjacent DNA molecules).
		Not only are DNA polymerases incapable of polymerizing DNA in the 3' to 5' direction, but they are also incapable of initiating DNA polymerization in the absence of an existing 3' -OH (this has something to do with the DNA polymerases being optimized toward high fidelity sequence duplication---mutation avoidance---rather than high versatility).

	ChemCases: Cisplatin - 14. DNA
		The three-dimensional structure of DNA was deduced in 1953 by James Watson and Francis Crick.
		One of these is DNA polymerase I, which catalyzes the step-by-step addition of activated deoxyribonucleotide units to a DNA chain; the activated deoxyribonucleotide units for adenine, guanine, thymine, and cytosine are represented as dATP, dGTP, dTTP, and dCTP, respectively.
		DNA is damaged in a variety of ways, and all cells have mechanisms by which to repair the damage.

	Replication of DNA
		DNA polymerase is described as being "template dependent" in that it will "read" the sequence of bases on the template strand and then "synthesize" the complementary strand.
		DNA polymerase catalyzes the formation of the hydrogen bonds between each arriving nucleotide and the nucleotides on the template strand.
		In addition to catalyzing the formation of Hydrogen bonds between complementary bases on the template and newly synthesized strands, DNA polymerase also catalyzes the reaction between the 5' phosphate on an incoming nucleotide and the free 3' OH on the growing polynucleotide (what we know is called a phosphodiester bond!).

		DNA single-stranded binding proteins - These proteins bind to the DNA as a tetramer and stabilize the single-stranded structure that is generated by the action of the helicases.
		DNA Ligase - Nicks occur in the developing molecule because the RNA primer is removed and synthesis proceeds in a discontinuous manner on the lagging strand.

	DNA Virus Replication
		DNA replication is bidirectional (There are two replication forks per circular DNA genome and replication involves leading/lagging strands, Okazaki fragments, DNA ligase, etc.).
		This process of DNA replication is very similar to that which occurs in the host cell - which is not surprising as the virus is using mainly host machinery except for the involvement of the T antigen.
		However, although adenoviruses code for their own DNA polymerase, they use host factors in addition to viral proteins for DNA replication, and they use host RNA polymerase and RNA modification systems and so nucleic acid synthesis needs to be in the nucleus.

		The location at which the primer bonds to the DNA determines the beginning of the section to be replicated.

		Moreover, despite the decreased DNA synthesis, excess amounts of Pol α; are loaded onto the chromatin template in Pol ε-depleted extracts, indicative of the failure of proper assembly of DNA synthesis machinery at the fork [22].
		Because this portion of the enzyme includes all known DNA polymerase and exonuclease motifs, these results suggest that the DNA polymerase activity of Pol ε; is dispensable for chromosomal DNA replication in yeast [15,16,27].
		However, because the amino-terminal portion of Pol ε;, that is required for its DNA polymerase- and exonuclease activities, is dispensable for yeast DNA replication, repair, and viability [15,16,27], the role of Pol ε; during DNA replication has remained obscure.
