Abstract excerpt
Human DNA polymerases mu (Polµ) and lambda (Polλ) are X family members involved in the repair of double-strand breaks in DNA during non-homologous end joining. Crucial abilities of these enzymes include bridging of the two 3' single-stranded overhangs and trans-polymerization using one 3' end as primer and the other as template, to minimize sequence loss. In this context, we have studied the importance of a...
