Abstract excerpt
We compared the thermal stabilities of wild-type recombinant avian myeloblastosis virus (AMV) and Moloney murine leukemia virus (M-MLV) reverse transcriptase (RT) with those of mutants of the recombinant enzymes lacking RNase H activity. They differed in resistance to thermal inactivation at elevated temperatures in the presence of an RNA/DNA template-primer. RNase H-minus RTs retained the ability to efficiently...
