The fluorescence of the base analog 2-aminopurine (2AP) is used in highly sensitive assays to determine kinetic parameters for DNA polymerase catalyzed reactions, including exonucleolytic proofreading and nucleotide binding and incorporation. Since 2AP fluorescence can also be used to probe DNA polymerase-induced conformational changes in 2AP-labeled DNA substrates, reaction steps that occur before product formation can be detected. Instruction is provided here in the use of 2AP fluorescence in steady-state and presteady-state assays to study DNA polymerase function and DNA replication.

Using Polbase tables:

Sorting:

Tables may be sorted by clicking on any of the column titles. A second click reverses the sort order. <Ctrl> + click on the column titles to sort by more than one column (e.g. family then name).

Filtering:

It is also possible to filter the table by typing into the search box above the table. This will instantly hide lines from the table that do not contain your search text.
