A model for the mechanism of polymerase translocation.

Abstract excerpt

A general mechanism for polymerase translocation is elaborated. The central feature of this mechanism is that a rapid translocational equilibrium is established after each cycle of nucleoside monophosphate incorporation such that the polymerase distributes itself by diffusional sliding between all accessible positions on the template with relative occupancy determined by relative free energy. While alternative...
