Abstract: The K219A, Y115F, and Q151M mutants had no influence on the fidelity; Y183A, Y183F, K65A, and Q151N mutants exhibited higher fidelity on both RNA and DNA templates, while Y115A was less error-prone selectively on a DNA template.
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 reverse transcriptase: role of Tyr115 in deoxynucleotide binding and misinsertion fidelity of DNA synthesis.
Abstract: The substitution of Tyr115 by Phe renders a fully active polymerase, displaying similar kinetic parameters, processivity and misinsertion fidelity of DNA synthesis as the wild-type enzyme.
