Biochemical Analysis of DNA Polymerase η Fidelity in the Presence of Replication Protein A

DNA polymerase η (pol η) synthesizes across from damaged DNA templates in order to prevent deleterious consequences like replication fork collapse and double-strand breaks. This process, termed translesion synthesis (TLS), is an overall positive for the cell, as cells deficient in pol η display high...
