Studies on the biochemical basis of spontaneous mutation. I. A comparison of the deoxyribonucleic acid polymerases of mutator, antimutator, and wild type strains of bacteriophage T4.

Polymerases:

Topics:

Mutational Analysis, Fidelity, Nucleotide Incorporation, Exonuclease Activity

One line summary:

Spontaneous mutation rate is related to the relative rates of insertion and removal of nucleotides during DNA synthesis; mutations in T4 DNA polymerase which perturb the exonuclease to polymerase ratio result in mutator or antimutator polymerases.
