Figure 2.
The structures of DNA pol ι·N^2-ethyl-Gua Complexes with incoming dCTP or dTTP. A, the structure of DNA pol ι containing N^2-ethyl-Gua and incoming dCTP shows the N^2-ethyl-Gua base rotated into the syn configuration. B, the structure of DNA pol ι containing N^2-ethyl-Gua and incoming dTTP shows the N^2-ethyl-Gua base in the anti configuration and the N^2-adduct protruding into the minor groove. C, electron density around the N^2-ethyl adduct and incoming dCTP. D, electron density around the N^2-ethyl adduct and the γ phosphate of the incoming dTTP.
