Abstract excerpt
Strand slippage has been found to occur in primer-templates containing a templating thymine, cytosine, and guanine, leading to the formation of misaligned structures with a single-nucleotide bulge. If remained in the active site of low-fidelity polymerases during DNA replication, these misaligned structures can ultimately bring about deletion mutations. In this study, we performed NMR investigations on...
