Kinetic analysis of an efficient DNA-dependent TNA polymerase. [PDF]
alpha-l-Threofuranosyl nucleoside triphosphates (tNTPs) are tetrafuranose nucleoside derivatives and potential progenitors of present-day beta-d-2'-deoxyribofuranosyl nucleoside triphosphates (dNTPs).

For certain applications of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), it may be necessary to consider the accuracy of replication. The breakthrough that made PCR user friendly was the commercialization of Thermus aquaticus (Taq) DNA polymerase, an enzyme that

Distinguishing low frequency mutations from RT-PCR and sequence errors in viral deep sequencing data [PDF]
There is a high prevalence of coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients with left bundle branch block (LBBB); however there are many other causes for this electrocardiographic abnormality.

An efficient method for DNA extraction from Cladosporioid fungi [PDF]
We developed an efficient method for DNA extraction from Cladosporioid fungi, which are important fungal plant pathogens. The cell wall of Cladosporioid fungi is often melanized, which makes it difficult to extract DNA from their cells.

Production and evaluation of egg derived hot start antibodies
Background: Hot start can greatly improve specificity, sensitivity and yield of PCR. Non-specific amplification can occur in PCR when reaction mixture is prepared at room temperature, because Taq DNA polymerase is active and the primers can hybridize non-

Evaluation of Different Amplification Protocols for Use in Primer-Extension Preamplification
Different amplification protocols were evaluated for use with primer-extension preamplification (PEP). We hypothesized that a protocol known to improve amplification of long DNA fragments would improve efficacy of PEP. Eight DNA samples were preamplified

A Genomic Point Mutation in the Extracellular Domain of the Thyrotropin Receptor in Patients with Graves’ Ophthalmopathy [PDF]
Orbital and pretibial fibroblasts are targets of autoimmune attack in Graves' ophthalmopathy (GO) and pretibial dermopathy (PTD). The fibroblast autoantigen involved in these peripheral manifestations of Graves' disease and the reason for the association

Heat-Mediated Activation of Affinity-Immobilized Taq DNA Polymerase
A novel strategy for heat-mediated activation of recombinant Taq DNA polymerase is described. A serum albumin binding protein tag is used to affinity-immobilize an E. coli-expressed Taq DNA polymerase fusion protein onto a solid support coated with human

Replicative bypass studies of l-deoxyribonucleosides in Vitro and in E. coli cell
l-nucleosides were the most important antiviral lead compounds because they can inhibit viral DNA polymerase and DNA synthesis of many viruses, whereas they may lead to mutations in DNA replication and cause genomic instability.
