Abstract
DNA polymerase preferentially inserts purine nucleotides opposite non-instructive lesions such as abasic sites during DNA replication. In order to elucidate the mechanism of the preferential insertion, a DNA template containing a model abasic site and primers containing 4 different nucleotides (A,G,C,T) at primer terminus were synthesized. The stability of the primer terminus nucleotide placed opposite the abasic site was evaluated on the basis of its sensitivity to 3'-5' exonuclease associated with DNA polymerase.Entities:
