Abstract excerpt
We hypothesized that the thermal stability of Moloney murine leukaemia virus reverse transcriptase (MMLV RT) will increase with increases in its ability to bind with a template-primer (T/P). To test this hypothesis, we introduced positive charges into MMLV RT by site-directed mutagenesis at positions that have been implicated in the interaction with T/P. Thirty-six variants were constructed in which one of the...
