| Abstract | To assess the contribution to discrimination afforded by base pair hydrogen bonding during DNA replication by the human mitochondrial DNA polymerase, we examined nucleoside mimics lacking hydrogen bond forming capability but retaining the overall steric shape of the natural nucleotide. We employed oligonucleotide templates containing either a deoxyadenosine shape mimic (dQ) or a deoxythymidine shape mimic (dF). Additionally, the nucleoside triphosphate analogs difluorotoluene deoxynucleoside triphosphate, 9-methyl-1-H-imidazo[(4,5)-b]pyridine deoxyribose triphosphate, and 4-methylbenzimidazole deoxyribose triphosphate (dZTP; another dATP shape mimic) were assayed. We used pre-steady state methods to determine the kinetic parameters governing nucleotide incorporation, k(pol) and K(d). In general, the loss of hydrogen bonding potential led to 2-3 kcal/mol reduction in ground state binding free energy, whereas effects on the maximum rate of polymerization were quite variable, ranging from negligible (dATP:dF) to nearly 4 kcal/mol (dZTP:dT). Although we observed only a 46-fold reduction in discrimination when dF was present in the template, there was a complete elimination of discrimination when dQ was present in the template. Our data with dF indicate that hydrogen bonding contributes 2.2 kcal/mol toward the efficiency of incorporation, whereas data with dQ (which may overestimate the effect due to poor steric mimicry) suggest a contribution of up to 6.8 kcal/mol. Taken together, the data suggest that sterics are necessary but not sufficient to achieve optimal efficiency and fidelity for DNA polymerase. Base pair hydrogen bonding contributes at least a third of the energy underlying nucleoside incorporation efficiency and specificity. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
