NMR investigation of DNA primer-template models: guanine templates are less prone to strand slippage upon misincorporation.

abstract：:Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases contain one or three Mg(2+) ions in their catalytic sites. In addition to their role in ATP binding, these ions are presumed to play a role in catalysis by increasing the electropositivity of the alpha-phosphate and stabilizing the pentavalent transition state. In the class II aaRS, two high...
