A redefinition of the Asp-Asp domain of reverse transcriptases
J Mol Evol.
1992 Dec.
Abstract
The rules defining the Asp-Asp domain of RNA-dependent polymerases deduced by Argos (1988) were tested in a set of 53 putative reverse transcriptases (RTs) sequences. Since it was found that some of these rules are not followed by RTs coded by bacteria, group II introns, and non-LTR retrotransposons, we present here a more strict definition of the Asp-Asp domain.
