MeSH Heading
DNA Polymerase I
Tree Number(s)
D08.811.913.696.445.308.300.225
Unique ID
D004256
RDF Unique Identifier

Scope Note
A DNA-dependent DNA polymerase characterized in prokaryotes and may be present in higher organisms. It has both 3'-5' and 5'-3' exonuclease activity, but cannot use native double-stranded DNA as template-primer. It is not inhibited by sulfhydryl reagents and is active in both DNA synthesis and repair.
