a

Misinsertion frequency, calculated by dividing kcat/Km for each dNTP incorporation by the kcat/Km for dCTP incorporation opposite template base. All values are presented to two significant digits.

b

Relative efficiency, calculated by dividing kcat/Km of each pol ι(1–445) for dCTP incorporation opposite template base by kcat/Km of wild-type pol ι(1–445) for dCTP incorporation opposite template base.
