Figure 3: Accurate translesion replication of 8oxoG by BF in crystals. a, Schematic of BF active site. During replication, the template base (n, red) moves from the pre-insertion site to the post-insertion site to the DNA duplex binding region. b-d, Structures of accurate 8oxoG replication (blue) are superimposed with structures of unmodified guanine replication (grey). The 8oxoG template base (red) is shown at the pre-insertion site (b) before nucleotide incorporation, the post-insertion site (c) after dCTP incorporation, and the DNA duplex binding region (d) after extension of C 8oxoG.
