the DNA polymerase also shows 3'-5' exonuclease activity. The 3'5' exonuclease activity of the DNA polymerase is important for DNA elongation with high fidelity
systematic study of competition PEX experiments with a series of 7-substituted 7-deazapurine and 5-substituted pyrimidine dNTPs bearing substituents of varying bulkiness in the presence of their natural counterparts (unmodified dNTPs). Most of these modified dNRTP's are good to excellent substrates for Bst and KOD XL polymerases and still moderate to good substrates for Pwo and Vent(exo-) polymerases. 7-Deazapurine dNTPs bearing p-electron-containing substituents (ethynyl and phenyl, as well as 7-vinyl-7-deazaadenine) are generally better substrates of Bst polymerase than natural dATP or dGTP, respectively. The corresponding 5-substituted cytosine dNTPs (dCRTP) are comparable to dCTP, whereas the 5-substituted uracil dURTPs are generally worse substrates than TTP. The measured kinetic parameters follow the same trend and confirm that 7-phenyl-7-deazapurine dNTPs have higher affinity to the active site of the polymerase than their natural counterparts
optimal temperature for an equimolar dNTP pool is 72.5°C. The optimum temperature shifts to lower temperatures when the dNTP pool composition is biased

hanging drop method. The Thumb domain of DNA polymerase shows an opened conformation. The fingers subdomain possesses many basic residues at the side of the polymerase active site. The residues are considered to be accessible to the incoming dNTP by electrostatic interaction. A beta-hairpin motif (residues 242-249) extends from the exonuclease domain as seen in the editing complex of the RB69 DNA polymerase from bacteriophage RB69. Many arginine residues are located at the forked-point (the junction of the template-binding and editing clefts) of KOD DNA polymerase, suggesting that the basic environment is suitable for partitioning of the primer and template DNA duplex and for stabilizing the partially melted DNA structure in the high-temperature environments
the mutant enzyme shows very weak 3'-5'-exonuclease activity compared to the wild-type enzyme (0.1%). No significant difference in DNA polymerase activity as compared with that of the wild-type enzyme. Mutation frequency in PCR becomes higher as 3'5' exonuclease activity decreases

the very good competition of 7-substituted 7-deazapurine dNTPs, and still reasonably good activity of 5-substituted pyrimidine dNTPs, in the presence of their natural counterparts is very encouraging for further development of methods of polymerase synthesis of modified DNA and for possible in cellulo and even in vivo applications if satisfactory delivery of modified dNTPs will be solved
long and accurate PCR can be achieved with a mixture of wild type DNA polymerase from Thermococcus kodakaraensis and its exonuclease deficient mutant enzyme N210D is utilized (at the ratio of 1:40)
