DNA-Directed RNA Polymerase Definition

Enzymes that catalyze the template-directed stepwise addition of ribonucleotides to the 3' end of a growing RNA chain using a single-stranded DNA template. The reaction is important in the flow of information from DNA to proteins. Three different forms of the polymerase have been identified and characterized.
