Abstract excerpt
The Klenow fragment structure, together with many biochemical experiments, has suggested a region of the protein that may contain the polymerase active site. We have changed 7 amino acid residues within this region by site-directed mutagenesis, yielding 12 mutant proteins which have been purified and analyzed in vitro. The results of steady-state kinetic determinations of Km(dNTP) and kcat for the polymerase...
