ISOLATION OF POLYMERASE-NUCLEIC ACID COMPLEXES AND LOADING ONTO SUBSTRATES
摘要
Compositions, methods and systems are provided for the isolation of polymerase-nucleic acid complexes. Complexes can be separated from free enzyme by using hook molecules to target single stranded regions on the nucleic acid. Hook oligonucleotides are used to capture polymerase nucleic acid complexes where the nucleic acids comprise circular nucleic acids having a double stranded central region with hairpin regions on each end. Methods for loading such complexes onto substrates and for single molecule sequencing of such complexes are also provided.
