(a) Comparison of the initial structure of pol X in the ternary complex (green) with the final structure obtained after 10.5 ns of simulation (blue) (simulation 7). The DNA is not shown for clarity. (b) Cartoon representation of the thumb subdomain of pol X (residues 105–173) before (green) and after (blue) the dynamics. Helix E in the foreground moves as much as 10 Å. Part of the DNA in the simulated structure is shown in red. (c) Comparison with the open (green) and closed (red) forms of pol β. The structures are superimposed on the catalytic triad (Asp-49, -51, and -100 for pol X and Asp-190, -192, and -256 for pol β).
