The enhanced DNA replication fidelity of a mutant herpes simplex virus type 1 DNA polymerase is mediated by an improved nucleotide selectivity and reduced mismatch extension ability.

We previously demonstrated that a recombinant herpes simplex virus containing a mutation within the finger domain of DNA polymerase replicated DNA with increased fidelity. In this study, we demonstrate that, compared with wild-type polymerase, the mutant enzyme exhibited improved nucleotide selectivity and a reduced ability to extend from mismatched primer termini, which would contribute to the increased DNA replication fidelity.

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.
