The 7 pages that link to Taq polymerase, each with the reason it gives.

• Polymerase chain reactionRelated: Its use removed the need to replace polymerase after every heating cycle.

• ArchaeaCompared with: It popularized thermostable enzymes; archaeal polymerases offer alternatives with proofreading activity.

• DNA polymeraseBroader topic: Its heat tolerance made repeated high-temperature PCR cycles practical.

• ExtremophileBroader topic: Its heat tolerance made repeated high-temperature steps in PCR practical.

• ThermophileBroader topic: Its ability to withstand repeated heating made it central to early PCR.

• Thermus aquaticusBroader topic: This enzyme is the bacterium’s best-known contribution to molecular biology.

• Kary MullisBroader topic: Its heat tolerance made repeated PCR heating practical.
