The phosphonoacetic acid (PAA)-susceptible deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) polymerase of herpes simplex virus type 1 was partially purified and isolated in sucrose gradients and on double-strand DNA cellulose columns. The DNA polymerase isolated from cells infected with the PAA-resistant mutant had the same molecular weight as the wild- type enzyme (140,000 to 149,000) but was consistently more resistant to PAA.
