Steady-state kinetics parameters for single nucleotide insertion of mismatch dAMP opposite unmodified dC or 11-mer peptide (NH2-GGGKGLGKGGA) conjugated to C5 position of cytosine (X) by hPol η. Catalytic efficiency values for unmodified dC and DpC sequences are shown in the fifth column (kcat/Km). Average effect is the percentage difference between the catalytic efficiency values of each DpC and its corresponding control. Michaelis Menten curves were calculated by nonlinear regression analysis using one-site hyperbolic fits in Prism 4.0 (Graphpad Software, La Jolla, CA, USA). Error was calculated by standard deviation of the mean in Prism 4.0.
