Abstract excerpt
Thirty-four mutants of phage T7 RNA polymerase (RNAP) were generated by linker-insertion mutagenesis and characterized with respect to their ability to carry out various steps in the transcription cycle. A number of mutants with interesting biochemical properties were identified. These include: (1) Mutant RNAPs that are catalytically active but that bind weakly to a T7 promoter; one of these mutants is affected...
