Figure 5.
Figure 5. Proposed mechanisms of blunt-end additions of (a) dPTP and (b) dATP. dATP and dPTP are represented by A and P in different colors, respectively. The Watson-Crick hydrogen bonds were drawn as dashed lines while the base-stacking interactions were shadowed in green. The stacking interactions between the 2′-deoxyribose (R) of an incoming nucleotide and the 5′-terminal base A are displayed in a green box. The van der Waals interactions between an incoming nucleotide and Dpo4 active site residues were not shown for clarity. Figure 5.
