Pyrophosphorolysis by Type II DNA polymerases: implications for pyrophosphorolysis-activated polymerization.
Analytical biochemistry - 1 Jan 2004
Liu Qiang, Sommer Steve S
Abstract excerpt
We find that Type II DNA polymerases can catalyze pyrophosphorolysis, the reverse reaction of DNA polymerization. This property is applied utilizing pyrophosphorolysis-activated polymerization (PAP), a method of nucleic acid amplification using serial coupling of pyrophosphorolysis and polymeriza...
