Enzymes called RNA polymerases transcribe DNA into RNA. RNA is the intermediary that carries ... types of RNA polymerases that can transcribe different types of RNA. RNA polymerase II, shown here, is ...

DNA polymerase (DNAP) is a type of enzyme that is responsible for forming new copies of DNA, in the form of nucleic acid molecules. Nucleic acids are polymers, which are large molecules made up of ...

Polymerase chain reaction, or PCR, is a laboratory technique used to make multiple copies of a segment of DNA. PCR is very precise and can be used to amplify, or copy, a specific DNA target from a ...

Now his team has built a mirror version of the 775-amino acid Pfu DNA polymerase, which Zhu says is the largest functional protein to be chemically synthesized to date. In its natural form ...

Forensic DNA profiling uses polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to amplify short tandem repeats (STRs), which are highly variable DNA regions, typically with four repeating bases. This variability helps ...
