## Abstract DNA polymerases are required for DNA replication and DNA repair in all of the living organisms. Different DNA polymerases are responsible different stages of DNA metabolism, and many of them are multifunctional enzymes. It was generally assumed that the different reactions are catalyzed
The analysis of the data so far available indicates that eukaryotic chromosome with splicing characteristics appeared quite early in evolution possibly parallel and not sequential to the prokaryotic system. The endosymbiotic origin of the eukaryotic cell involved a primitive undifferentiated unicell
DNA polymerase delta, the most recently described class of eukaryotic DNA polymerase, has been purified to apparent homogeneity from rabbit bone marrow. Unlike the previously known eukaryotic DNA polymerases, delta has a 3' to 5' exonuclease as an integral component of its 122 000 molecular weight,
DNA polymerase lambda (Pol lambda) is a novel enzyme of the family X of DNA polymerases. Pol lambda has some properties in common with DNA polymerase beta (Pol beta). The substrate properties of Pol lambda were compared to Pol beta using DNAs mimicking short-patch (SP) and long-patch (LP) base excis
