Taq polymerase

From the thermophilic bacterium Thermus aquaticus.

Another use of Taq polymerase is directly in DNA sequencing, where the high temperatures employed help reduce problems caused by secondary structure in the template and allow an increase in the stringency of primers used. Taq polymerase has, for the reasons mentioned earlier, become a very important tool for the molecular biologist.

2009, A.N. Shukla, Industrial Enzymology, →ISBN, page 237:

Taq polymerase lacks a proofreading activity and as a result is unable to correct its errors.

If a PCR is performed with Taq polymerase and with 10,000 template molecules, producing a product that is 1000 bp long, 1% of the newly generated fragments will have a mutation in the first cycle.

abfraction

abfraction (countable and uncountable, plural abfractions)

From ab- + fraction (“act of breaking”); from 1991.

Due to the stresses resulting from biomechanical loading forces exerted on the teeth (static, as in swallowing and clenching[,] or cyclic, as in chewing), both enamel and dentin can chip or break away. This loss of tooth substance, which shall be termed Abfraction, is dependent on the magnitude, duration, direction, frequency, and location of the forces. These abfractive lesions are caused by flexure and ultimate material fatigue of susceptible teeth at locations away from the point of loading. Clinical observation of a variety of enamel and dentin lesions due to the shapes, sizes, loci, and frequency warrants a new and distinct classification.

1991, Grippo JO, “Abfractions: a new classification of hard tissue lesions of teeth”, in Journal of Esthetic Dentistry, volume 3, number 1, →DOI, →PMID, pages 14–19:
