✦ Synopsis


The rules defining the Asp-Asp domain of RNA-dependent polymerases deduced by Argos (1988) were tested in a set of 53 putative reverse transcriptases (RTs) sequences. Since it was found that some of these rules are not followed by RTs coded by bacteria, group II introns, and non-LTR retrotransposons, we present here a more strict definition of the Asp-Asp domain.

## Abstract The observation of the Asp–His–Ser triad (Asp: aspartate, His: histidine, Ser: serine) triad both in mammalian and bacterial proteases suggests a special efficiency. A series of B3LYP/D95\*(d,p) calculations on various [X–H^β^Y]^−^ dyads (as part of the [X–H^β^Y–H^α^Ac]^−^ model triad,
