Unraveling DNA polymerase’s activity can help scientists better understand DNA replication and repair and explore how these processes fail and lead to diseases, such as cancer. “This finding [happened ...

The process is called the DNA polymerase chain reaction (PCR). (If it sounds familiar, it's because PCR-powered COVID testing became famous during the pandemic.) ...

The DNA polymerase is right behind, copying the DNA letters as they’re freed from their partners. CDK’s second job is to stop any more helicases from hopping on the origins.

The temperature is raised to around 72 °C, which is the optimal temperature for the DNA polymerase to extend the primers. The polymerase synthesizes new DNA strands by adding nucleotides to the 3' end ...

The monkeypox virus has its own DNA polymerase F8 which, when together with the processive cofactors A22 and E4, constitutes the polymerase holoenzyme for genome replication.

NER then snips out faulty DNA found and replaces it with an accurate copy. Without the action of RNA polymerase, little NER, if any, occurs in living bacteria.

The process is called the DNA polymerase chain reaction (PCR). (If it sounds familiar, it's because PCR-powered COVID testing became famous during the pandemic.) ...
