Abstract excerpt
In A-family DNA polymerases (dPols), a functional 3'-5' exonuclease activity is known to proofread newly synthesized DNA. The identification of a mismatch in substrate DNA leads to transfer of the primer strand from the polymerase active site to the exonuclease active site. To shed more light regarding the mechanism responsible for the detection of mismatches, we have utilized DNA polymerase 1 from Aquifex...
