Abstract excerpt
Many genotoxic agents form base lesions that inhibit DNA polymerases. To study the mechanism underlying termination of DNA synthesis on defective templates, we tested the capacity of a model enzyme (Klenow fragment of Escherichia coli DNA polymerase I) to catalyze primer elongation across a series of C4' deoxyribose derivatives. A site with inverted C4' configuration or two different C4' deoxyribose adducts were...
