  • Methods of nucleic acid synthesis using particular crowding agents and concentrations
    Patent number: 8568982
    Abstract: The invention provides a method of nucleic acid synthesis and/or amplification, and/or of improving the efficiency, activity and/or stability of at least one nucleic acid-modifying enzyme, comprising carrying out the method in the presence of (a) at least one organic-based macromolecule having a molecular weight of 50 kDa to 500 kDa and neutral surface charge; or (b) at least one organic-based macromolecule of radius 2 to 50 nm and neutral surface charge. There is also provided a method of determining the optimum crowding conditions of macromolecule(s) in solution.
    Type: Grant
