Abstract excerpt
Amino acids Tyr254 and Tyr390 of phi 29 DNA polymerase belong to one of the most conserved regions in eukaryotic-type DNA polymerases. In this paper we report a mutational study of these two residues to address their role in nucleotide selection. This study was carried out by means of a new kinetic analysis that takes advantage of the competition between DNA polymerization and 3'-->5' exonuclease activity to...
