A recent finding published in the journal Nature Chemical Biology reports the synthesis of a carbohydrate-based vaccine for cancer. The study carried out in mice demonstrated that the vaccine triggers a strong immune response to cancer cells. The vaccine has been created synthetically and has shown promising results in creating an antibody response that can [...]

DNA pol I: It is a single subunit enzyme with a mol wt of 103,000. It has 3′→5′ exonuclease proofreading activity. The polymerization rate, i.e. nucleotides added per second to a growing DNA molecule, is 16-20. The processivity of DNA pol I is 3-200. Processivity is the number of nucleotides before polymerase dissociates from [...]
