Figure 1.
Figure 1 Ribbon diagrams of the T/dATP (A), T/dGTP-1 (B) and T/dGTP-2 (C) and T/G (D) structures around the active site. Dpo4 is shown as ribbons. The three conserved carboxylates in the active site, the last two base pairs of the primer/template and the replicating base pair are shown as ball-and-stick models. The template strand is shown in blue and the primer strand in purple. The incoming nucleotide is shown in different colors for each crystal structure. The metal ions are shown as green spheres. The 2F[o]-F[c] electron density maps are contoured at 1 level and superimposed onto the nucleic acid portion.
