• Multiple forms of enzymes (isoenzymes) occur
which have similar catalytic activities but
different structures.

DNA polymerase (Multifunctional
Enzyme
• Catalyzes the polymerization
of deoxyribonucleotides into
a DNA strand.
• Uses a magnesium ion for
catalytic activity.
• DNA polymerases have
highly-conserved structure,
which means that their
overall catalytic subunits
vary, on a whole, very little
from species to species.
Function
• DNA polymerase can add free nucleotides to
only the 3’ end of the newly-forming strand. This
results in elongation of the new strand in a 5'-3'
direction.
