Abstract excerpt
Various kinetic studies on nucleotide incorporation by DNA polymerases have established that a rate-limiting step occurs that is crucial in the mechanism of discrimination between correct versus incorrect nucleotide. Crystallographic studies have indicated that this step may be due to a large open-to-closed conformational transition affecting the fingers subdomain. However, there is no direct evidence to support...
