Abstract excerpt
Among the family B DNA polymerases, the Twa DNA polymerase from T. wiotapuensis, a hyperthermophilic archaeon, has exceedingly high fidelity. For applications in PCR, however, the enzyme is limited by its low extension rate and processivity. To resolve these weaknesses, we focused on two amino acid residues (A381 and N501) located at the palm subdomain of Twa DNA polymerase. Following replacement of these...
