Abstract: Methods for preparing vinyl ester-ethylene copolymers and methods for recovering residual monomers when preparing the same. The method includes performing a stage (a) where radically initiated polymerization of vinyl esters, ethylene and optionally further ethylenically unsaturated monomers in an aqueous medium is performed. In a stage (b) a polymerization mixture from stage (a) is depressurized producing an ethylene-containing gas phase and an aqueous phase containing vinyl esters and vinyl ester-ethylene copolymers. Where the ethylene-containing gas phase separated off, then absorbed into vinyl esters and the mixture thus obtained is used in the radically initiated polymerization of vinyl esters, ethylene and optionally further ethylenically unsaturated monomers.

Abstract: A purified thermostable enzyme is derived form the thermophilic archaebacterium Thermococcus gorgonarius. The enzyme can be native or recombinant, retains approximately 90% of its activity after incubation for two hours at 95° C. in the presence of stabilizing agents and possesses 3?-5? proofreading exonuclease activity. Thermostable DNA polymerases are useful in many recombinant DNA techniques, especially nucleic acid amplification by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR).

Abstract: A thermostable enzyme is provided which is derived from the microorganism Anaerocellum thermophilum. The enzyme has a molecular weight of 96 to 100 kDa, shows DNA polymerase activity and reverse transcriptase activity in the presence of magnesium ions. The enzyme may be native or recombinant, and may be used with selected primers and nucleoside triphosphates in a temperature cycling polymerase chain reaction on DNA or RNA as template with or without additional DNA polymerases as an enzyme mixture.

Abstract: Subjects of the inventions are methods for enzymatic DNA labeling. Nucleotides modified to carry functional or detectable groups are incorporated into newly synthesized DNA by DNA polymerases. DNA is synthesized from modified nuleoside triphosphates by DNA polymerases such that the newly synthesized DNA consists exclusively of modified nucleotides or contains modified nucleotides in high density.
