Abstract excerpt
Mechanisms that allow replicative DNA polymerases to attain high processivity are often specific to a given polymerase and cannot be generalised to others. Amplification efficiency is lower in family B-type DNA polymerases than in family A-type (Taq) polymerases because of their strong 3'-5' exonuclease-activity. Here, we have red the exonuclease domain of the Thermococcus onnurineus NA1 (TNA1) DNA polymerase,...
