A high rate of base-substitution mutations can result from a polymerases tendency to incorporate a mispaired nucleotide
Question:
A high rate of base-substitution mutations can result from a polymerase’s tendency to incorporate a mispaired nucleotide or from its poor ability to incorporate the correct nucleotide. Use the following information about the catalytic efficiency (kcat/KM) of two error-prone polymerases to compare their ability to generate substitution mutations.
