Abstract excerpt
The role of Moloney murine leukemia virus (MoMLV) reverse transcriptase (RT) in the generation of base substitution mutations during retroviral replication was analyzed. To that effect, the in vitro fidelity of the MoMLV RT was compared to the rate of base substitution mutations occurring during...
