Figure 7. The effect of varied exonuclease activity.
(A) Median longest forward time step occurring within a replication from the mtDNA light strand template (taken over 10,000 repeated simulations). (B) Point mutation rate per strand replication. With the decreasing of exonuclease activity from 100% activity to zero, both the median value of longest forward single step time and point mutation rate increased nonlinearly.
