Kinetic mechanism for RNA- and DNA-dependent polymerases. Individual steps along the pathway for DNA polymerization are numbered and identified. Abbreviations: E = polymerase, DNAn = DNA substrate, Eā€™ = conformational change in DNA polymerase, PPi = inorganic pyrophosphate, and DNAn+1 = DNA product (DNA extended by one nucleobase).
