摘要: Abstract Mechanisms for the fidelity of DNA replication in eucaryotes are not adequately understood. Certain hypotheses can be tested by examining whether first nucleotide inserted is incorporated with a significantly higher error rate than subsequent nucleotides. Using synthetic oligodeoxynucleotides, we have measured effect primer position on single-base misinsertion frequencies at an amber site phi X174 DNA. Our results show lack effect, indicating that processivity and most direct "energy relay" proofreading mechanisms important determinants eucaryotic fidelity.
