In the first step of gap repair, the polymerase enzymes extend the host DNA on each end and, thus, fill in the gaps.
He showed that silicon activates the gene coding for the polymerase enzyme that copies diatom DNA.
A virus's polymerase enzymes are often much more efficient at making DNA and RNA than the host cell's.
To improve specificity of oligonucleotide annealing, the synthesis step relies on a set of thermostable DNA ligase and polymerase enzymes.
At the end of the RT step the polymerase enzyme is heatactivated.
When the technique was first developed, it was necessary to put in a fresh supply of the polymerase enzyme for each new three-step sequence.
A polymerase enzyme is used to extend the chain by adding nucleotides according to a pattern specified by the scientist.
A reason for this is because of slipping of the polymerase enzyme in repeat regions, allowing for mutations to enter the sequence.
A DNA polymerase is a cellular or viral polymerase enzyme that synthesizes DNA molecules from their nucleotide building blocks.
In molecular biology, processivity is a measure of the average number of nucleotides added by a polymerase enzyme, such as DNA polymerase, per association/disassociation with the template.
