Abstract excerpt
A single strategy to select RNA polymerase from bacteriophage T7 (T7 RNAP) mutants in Escherichia coli with enhanced thermostability or enzymatic activity is described. T7 RNAP has the ability to specifically transcribe genes under control of T7 phage promoter. By using random mutagenesis of the T7 RNAP gene in combination with an appropriate screening at 25 and 42°C, we have generated and selected E.coli clones...
