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 primary function of a polymerase is the polymerization of new DNA or RNA against an existing DNA or RNA template in the processes of replication and transcription. In association with a cluster of other enzymes and proteins, they take nucleotides from solution, and catalyse the synthesis of a polynucleotide sequence against a nucleotide template strand using base-pairing interactions.

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.
One particular polymerase, from the thermophilicbacterium, 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.
Three structurally and functionally distinct DNApolymerases, known as DNApolymerases α, δ, and ε (Pol α,-δ, and -ε, respectively), are required for chromosomal DNA replication in yeasts [1-3].
Because this portion of the enzyme includes all known DNApolymerase and exonuclease motifs, these results suggest that the DNApolymerase 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 DNApolymerase- 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.
