Abstract excerpt
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a powerful tool to diagnose infectious diseases. Uracil DNA glycosylase (UDG) is broadly used to remove carryover contamination in PCR. However, UDG can contribute to false negative results when not inactivated completely, leading to DNA degradation during the amplification step. In this study, we designed novel thermolabile UDG derivatives by supercomputing molecular dynamic...
