Abstract

See full text

Compositions and methods are provided that improve the specificity and efficiency of nucleic acid amplification. A binding partner may be bound to a DNA polymerase enzyme where the binding partner substantially inhibits the activity of the polymerase. A second enzyme modifies the binding partner in a manner that relieves the inhibition of the polymerase activity. The activity of the second enzyme may be inhibited in a temperature-sensitive manner such that the second enzyme is active only at elevated temperatures. As a consequence, the polymerase enzyme also is active only when the temperature is elevated.
