Primase catalyzes the synthesis of a short RNA (or DNA in some organisms) segment called a primer complementary to a ssDNA template.he RNA segments are first synthesized by primase and then elongated by DNA polymerase. Then the DNA polymerase forms a protein complex with two primase subunits to form the alpha DNA Polymerase primase complex.
1 These are research materials that are necessary to perform research. 2  All inventions, discoveries and knowledge can become research tools. 3  Universities and public research institutions have many resources that can be considered research tools.
Tools Used by Scientists. Scientists use complex and precise tools to perform research. In the field, scientists use highly accurate measuring devices to find data about how a system or process works. To record and analyze the data they find, scientists often use powerful software programs and computers. Depending on the type of research they do, scientists may use dozens of tools in the course of one research project. (michaeljung/iStock/Getty Images)
