Figure 4.
Repositioning of Lys^309 in the structure of DNA pol ι with N^2-ethyl-Gua in the syn configuration. A, the Lys^309 side chain in DNA pol ι in complex with N^2-ethyl-Gua (green) in the syn configuration shifts ∼9Å relative to the position of Lys^309 in DNA pol ι complexed with syn Gua (PDB code 2ALZ, magenta). B, with N^2-ethyl-Gua in the anti conformation (blue) Lys^309 remains in a similar position relative to the Lys^309 in the DNA pol ι·Gua complex (PDB code 2FLP, yellow).
