In vitro activation of purified human heat shock factor by heat.

abstract：:After extensive studies spanning over half a century, there is little consensus on the kinetic mechanism of DNA polymerases. Using stopped-flow fluorescence assays for mammalian DNA polymerase beta (Pol beta), we have previously identified a fast fluorescence transition corresponding to conformational closing, and a s...
