Title:
MODIFIED HELICASES
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2015/055981
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention relates to a new method of characterising a target polynucleotide. The method uses a pore and a Dda helicase. The helicase controls the movement of the target polynucleotide through the pore. The invention also relates to modified Dda helicases which can be used to control the movement of polynucleotides and are particularly useful for sequencing polynucleotides.
