polymerase /po·lym·er·ase/ (pah-lim´er-ās) an enzyme that catalyzes polymerization.
pol·y·mer·ase (pl-m-rs, -rz)
n.
Any of various enzymes that catalyze polymerization, especially those that catalyze the synthesis of polynucleotides of DNA or RNA using an existing strand of DNA or RNA as a template.

polymerase
[pə·lim′ər·ās]
any enzyme that catalyzes polymerization, especially of nucleotides to polynucleotides.

polymerase [pah-lim´er-ās]
an enzyme that catalyzes polymerization.
polymerase chain reaction a rapid technique for in vitro amplification of specific DNA or RNA sequences, allowing small quantities of short sequences to be analyzed without cloning.

polymerase
an enzyme that catalyzes polymerization, particularly of nucleic acids.

polymerase chain reaction
see pcr1.
RNA polymerase
1. an enzyme that synthesizes an RNA copy of the sequence in a limited region of DNA in a process known as DNA transcription. Called also DNA-dependent RNA polymerase.
2. a viral enzyme that synthesizes RNA from an RNA template during viral replication. Called also RNA-dependent RNA polymerase.
RNA-dependent RNA polymerase
see RNA polymerase (above).
Taq polymerase
a DNA polymerase that functions at high temperature; derived from the bacterium Thermus aquaticus and used in the polymerase chain reaction.
