Plasmid-based lacZalpha assay for DNA polymerase fidelity: application to archaeal family-B DNA polymerase [PDF]
The preparation of a gapped pUC18 derivative, containing the lacZalpha reporter gene in the single-stranded region, is described. Gapping is achieved by flanking the lacZalpha gene with sites for two related nicking endonucleases, enabling the excision ...

Polymerase Chain Reaction [PDF]
The advent of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) radically transformed biological science from the time it was first discovered (Mullis, 1990). For the first time, it allowed for specific detection and production of large amounts of DNA. PCR-based strategies have propelled huge scientific endeavors such as the Human Genome Project.

DNA polymerases required for repair of UV-induced damage in Saccharomyces cerevisiae [PDF]
The ability of yeast DNA polymerase mutant strains to carry out repair synthesis after UV irradiation was studied by analysis of postirradiation molecular weight changes in cellular DNA.

The appearance of these structures represents a historic advance in our understanding of one of molecular biology's most remarkable enzymes. Here we have suggested several possible structural bases for key steps in its function. Although speculative, they should serve as stimuli for future work.

Molecular motors can exhibit Brownian ratchet or power stroke mechanisms. These mechanistic categories are related to transition state position: An early transition state suggests that chemical energy is stored and then released during the step (stroke) while a late transition state suggests that the release of chemical energy rectifies thermally ...

Molecular dissection of the domain architecture and catalytic activities of human PrimPol [PDF]
PrimPol is a primase–polymerase involved in nuclear and mitochondrial DNA replication in eukaryotic cells. Although PrimPol is predicted to possess an archaeo-eukaryotic primase and a UL52-like zinc finger domain, the role of these domains has not been ...
