Resumen

Comprender la selectividad de la base de la ADN polimerasa requiere saber por qué la incorporación incorrecta de nucleótidos se desestabiliza. Las estructuras cristalinas revelan choques estéricos, interacciones débiles y el entierro hidrofóbico contribuyen a la incorporación ineficiente de dNTPs no coincidentes por la polimerasa de ADN RB69 de tipo salvaje.

Mismatch Repair

Organisms are capable of detecting and fixing nucleotide mismatches that occur during DNA replication. This sophisticated process requires identifying the new strand and replacing the erroneous bases with correct nucleotides. Mismatch repair is coordinated by many proteins in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
