Abstract excerpt
DNA polymerases ensure efficient insertion of the correct dNTP into the DNA substrate. They have evolved mechanisms for discriminating among very similar dNTP substrates. DNA polymerase beta is a repair polymerase that provides a model system for a direct study of insertion fidelity. In this study, we examined the role of hinge residue Ile260 of the rat Polbeta on enzyme activity and accuracy. We changed residue...
