Abstract
Processivity factors associate with DNA polymerases, enabling them to incorporate thousands of nucleotides without dissociating from the template. The processivity factors encoded by each of the herpesviruses are ideal targets for specifically blocking viral replication, particularly since they have unique primary amino acid sequences. Here we provide details of a rapid mechanistic plate assay and its potential application to high-throughput screening of libraries of tens of thousands of chemical compounds to identify inhibitors of processive DNA synthesis. Methods of validation testing are presented.
