ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides for methods of assaying the activity of a polymerase enzyme by using a Scintillation Proximity Assay (SPA) without the need of primers modified with affinity tags. The methods of the present invention can be practiced with any number of RNA and DNA polymerase enzymes.
