Abstract excerpt
The fidelity of poliovirus RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (3D(pol)) was determined using a system based on the fidelity of synthesis of the alpha-lac gene which codes for a subunit of beta-galactosidase. Synthesis products are screened for mutations by an alpha-complementation assay, in which the protein product from alpha-lac is used in trans to complement beta-galactosidase activity in bacteria that do not...
