title: [Chemical reactions catalyzed by DNA polymerases].
abstract: Chemical reactions catalyzed by various DNA polymerases are discussed, including DNA chain extension, the 3'-->5'-exonuclease proofreading activity, and some other pathways of replicative repair. The contribution of DNA polymerases to the fidelity of the template-dependent synthesis is analyzed by the examples of some most typical DNA polymerases.
