Abstract excerpt
Telomerase is a nonclassical DNA polymerase that uses its integral RNA as a template to synthesize telomeric repeats onto chromosome ends. The molecular mechanism of telomerase is unique and involves a translocation step after the synthesis of each telomeric repeat. To directly measure the enzymatic turnover of substrate and the efficiency of the translocation step we have extended our two-color single molecule...
