 AB    DNA and RNA polymerases are enzymes that are primarily responsible for
       copying genetic material in all living systems. The four polymerases
       whose structures have been determined by X-ray crystallographic methods
       have significant similarities at the polymerase active site that are
       indicative of common requirements for polynucleotide synthesis.
       Structural studies of complexes of the Klenow fragment of Escherichia
       coli DNA polymerase I, HIV type 1 reverse transcriptase, and rat DNA
       polymerase beta with DNA are leading to generalized models for
       catalysis.
