Polymerization and editing modes of a high-fidelity DNA polymerase are linked by a well-defined path

In high fidelity DNA polymerases the exonuclease site is distal from the polymerization site and it is unknown how the primer strand travels between the two sites when mis-incorporated nucleotides must be removed. Here, the authors perform MD simulations and identify an optimal path for DNA primer s...
