#Unit 3. Fundamental Processes
One metal ion generate a 3’O- that is primed for the nucleophilic attack of the a-phosphate of the incoming dNTP.
#Id: 754
The second metal ion coordinates the negative charges of the b-phosphate and g-phosphate of the dNTP and stabilizes the pyrophosphate produced by joining the primer and the incoming nucleotide
#Id: 755
DNA polymerase “grips” the template and the incoming nucleotide when a correct base pair is made via Arg, Lys and Tyr residue in its alpha helix
#Id: 756
Base-pair geometry and the complementarity between the bases cannot reach the extraordinarily high levels of accuracy
#Id: 757
Approximately one mistake in every 1010 bp added due to keto-enol tautomerism.
