Studies on several recently discovered error-prone DNA polymerases reveal novel structures that may explain the low fidelity of this general class of enzymes, a number of which are involved in the replicative bypass (translesion synthesis) of base damage in DNA.

Sorting:

Tables may be sorted by clicking on any of the column titles. A second click reverses the sort order. <Ctrl> + click on the column titles to sort by more than one column (e.g. family then name).

Filtering:

It is also possible to filter the table by typing into the search box above the table. This will instantly hide lines from the table that do not contain your search text.
