Abstract excerpt
Engineering of a bifunctional enzyme that combines DNA-dependent DNA polymerase and reverse transcriptase (RT) activities is a highly promising biotechnological goal, as it would enable one-enzyme RT-PCR. For this purpose, we selected the high-fidelity Pyrococcus furiosus (Pfu) DNA polymerase as engineering scaffold. The selection of amino acid residues for replacement was carried out based on a multi-sequence...
