Figure 2.
Figure 2. Surface features. (a) Conservation. The solvent-accessible surface is colored in yellow and orange at locations for invariant and conserved residues, respectively, according to Figure 1a. Residues that are essential for DNA polymerase activity are labeled. The view is as in Figure 1b, left. (b) Charge distribution. The surface is colored from negative (red) to positive charge (blue). Residues involved in DNA binding are labeled. The view on the right is related to that on the left by a 20° rotation about a vertical axis. The dashed circle shows the presumed location of the DNA duplex emanating from the active site toward the reader.
