Abstract excerpt
DNA polymerase (pol) lambda is homologous to pol beta and has intrinsic polymerase and terminal transferase activities. However, nothing is known about the amino acid residues involved in these activities. In order to precisely define the nucleotide-binding site of human pol lambda, we have mutagenised two amino acids, Tyr505 and the neighbouring Phe506, which were predicted by structural homology modelling to...
