Abstract excerpt
Family A DNA polymerase (K4PolI) from Thermotoga petrophila K4 was obtained as a recombinant form, and the enzyme characteristics were analyzed. K4PolI showed thermostable DNA-dependent DNA polymerase activity with 3'-5' exonuclease activity but no detectable RNA-dependent DNA polymerase activity. Its tertiary structure was speculated by in silico modeling to understand the binding situation between K4PolI and...
