Abstract excerpt
Thermotoga neapolitana (Tne) DNA polymerase belongs to the DNA polymerase I (Pol I) family. The O-helix region of these polymerases is involved in dNTP binding and also plays a role in binding primer-template during DNA synthesis. Here we report that mutations in the O-helix region of Tne DNA polymerase (Arg722 to His, Tyr or Lys) almost completely abolished the enzyme's ability to catalyze the...
