Scheme 3.

Scheme 3

(A) Kinetic Scheme for Pulse–Chase, Chemical-Quench Experiments for the RB69 pol–dP/T–dTTP Ternary Complex (FDN)a and (B) Kinetic Scheme Indicating That Mg Is Not Able To Enter the Closed Ternary Complex

a (FDN)C indicates the closed state of the ternary complex. (ED*N)O indicates a collision ternary complex in the open form. Mg indicates Mg2+. EP represents the product of the reaction. (FDNMg)C indicates the ternary complex with Mg2+ occupying the A metal site. For part 3A, kslow = 4 s−1 and kchem = 130 s−1.
