Abstract excerpt
Nucleotide incorporation by the herpes simplex virus type 1 DNA polymerase catalytic subunit (pol) is less faithful than for most replicative DNA polymerases, despite the presence of an associated 3'- to 5'-exonuclease (exo) activity. To determine the aspects of fidelity affected by the exo activity, nucleotide incorporation and mismatch extension frequency for purified wild-type and an exo-deficient mutant...
