Abstract excerpt
The accuracy by which organisms duplicate their DNA is of considerable interest. At least three mechanisms operate, serially, to secure high fidelity: base selection, exonucleolytic proofreading, and postreplicative mismatch correction. To obtain insights into the efficiency and specificity of th...
