What is DNA Polymerase?
DNA polymerase is a critical enzyme in the process of DNA replication. It is responsible for catalyzing the synthesis of DNA from deoxyribonucleotides, the building blocks of DNA.
Functions of DNA Polymerase:
- Proofreading newly synthesized strands for errors.
- Replacing ribonucleotides with deoxyribonucleotides in RNA primers.
- Repairing DNA damage.
Types of DNA Polymerase:
- DNA Polymerase I
- DNA Polymerase II
- DNA Polymerase III
- Specialized polymerases involved in DNA repair and other cellular processes.
