Abstract excerpt
The mechanism of the 3'-5' exonuclease activity of the Klenow fragment of DNA polymerase I has been investigated with a combination of biochemical and spectroscopic techniques. Site-directed mutagenesis was used to make alanine substitutions of side chains that interact with the DNA substrate on the 5' side of the scissile phosphodiester bond. Kinetic parameters for 3'-5' exonuclease cleavage of single- and...
