Abstract excerpt

All reverse transcriptases (RTs) so far examined are known to possess in common a stretch of 7 amino acids called the YXDD box. Various mutations were introduced in vitro into the nucleotide sequence coding for this box of Moloney murine leukaemia virus (Mo-MuLV) RT. The YXDD box of Mo-MuLV could...
