title: Some aspects of DNA polymerase functioning.
abstract: The group of DNA polymerases was studied using some new nucleoside 5'-triphosphate analogs with termination substrate properties. Among DNA polymerases tested the least specific appeared reverse transcriptases of retroviruses and the most specific were DNA polymerases alpha type from high eucaryotes including mammalians.
