Abstract excerpt
The effect of reverse transcriptase (RT) catalyzed mutations on continued extension of the nascent DNA chain was investigated. A system using the alpha-lac gene of beta-galactosidase as template and two sets of conditions was used. In one, RT was allowed to reassociate with the primer-template after falling off, while in a second RT was sequestered after dissociating. In the first condition, subsequent extension...
