  • Publication number: 20030129607
    Abstract: The present invention relates to polypeptides, compositions and methods for extending nucleic acid molecules. Specifically, the present invention discloses polypeptides able to extend double-stranded and/or single-stranded nucleic acid molecules and/or single-stranded/double-stranded nucleic acid complexes (e.g., primer/template complexes, double-stranded templates, single-stranded templates or single-stranded primers) and more particularly when a mismatched dimer is present at or near the 3′ terminus of the primer. Accordingly, the polypeptide of the invention extends nucleic acids in a non-templated fashion. The invention also relates to kits for synthesizing and extending nucleic acid molecules comprising one or more of the polypeptides or compositions of the invention. The invention also relates to compositions prepared for carrying out the methods of the invention and to compositions made after or during such methods.
