Selective inactivation of the 3' to 5' exonuclease activity of Escherichia coli DNA polymerase I by heat.

P J Lecomte, O P Doubleday
PMCID: PMC326498  PMID: 6359059

Abstract

Heat selectively inactivates the 3' to 5' exonuclease activity of E. coli DNA polymerase I, resulting in reduced dNTP turnover and lower fidelity of replication of homopolymer and natural DNA templates.
