Duplexes were prepared by hybridization and gel purification of the hybridized material as described in the Methods section. r, RNA strand; d, DNA strand.
Results are an average of 2–4 independent experiments ± standard deviation. wt, wild type RT; E>Q, RNase H minus E478>Q RT. Assays with wt were without Mg2+ while 6 mM Mg2+ was present with E>Q. Values were calculated based on protein mass as provided by the manufacturer (wt) or determined as described (E>Q) [34].
