Characterization of crystals of the thermostable DNA polymerase I from thermus aquaticus
Thermus aquaticus DNA polymerase I is an enzyme that is of both physiological and technological interest. It carries out template‐directed polymerization of DNA at elevated temperatures and is widely used in polymerase chain reaction (PCR). We have obtained crystals of the enzyme that diffracts X‐ra...

Zusammenfassung: | Thermus aquaticus DNA polymerase I is an enzyme that is of both physiological and technological interest. It carries out template‐directed polymerization of DNA at elevated temperatures and is widely used in polymerase chain reaction (PCR). We have obtained crystals of the enzyme that diffracts X‐rays to at least 3.0 Å resolution in a cubic space group. Determination of the three‐dimensional structure of the native enzyme along with those of relevant complexes will greatly enhance our knowledge of molecular events involved in DNA replication, will permit improvements in PCR, and will add to our knowledge of the structural bases of thermo stability in proteins. © 1995 Wiley‐Liss, Inc. |
