Abstract excerpt
We describe a simple protocol for introducing random point mutations into cloned DNA fragments via forced misincorporation of deoxynucleoside triphosphates (dNTPs) by either of two polymerases which lack proofreading activity, reverse transcriptase or a mutant T7 DNA polymerase. A high ratio of one nucleotide to the other three is used to enhance the error rate. Mutagenesis is initiated from a specific primer and...
