Abstract excerpt
The selectivity of DNA polymerases for processing the canonical nucleotide and DNA substrate in favor of the noncanonical ones is the key to the integrity of the genome of every living species and to many biotechnological applications. The inborn ability of most DNA polymerases to abort efficient extension of mismatched DNA substrates adds to the overall DNA polymerase selectivity. DNA polymerases have been...
