Disease relevance of TTHA1965

 

High impact information on TTHA1965

  • The genomic DNA encoding the inorganic pyrophosphatase from an extremely thermophilic bacterium, Thermus thermophilus HB8 (ATCC27634), was isolated by colony hybridization with a probe designed as a part of gene amplified by the PCR method, which was derived from the partial amino acid sequence of the enzyme [2].
  • The inorganic pyrophosphatase from T. thermophilus exhibits extremely high thermostability which is decreased by addition of EDTA indicating a stabilizing effect of divalent metal ions [3].
