Relative Binding Free Energies of Adenine and Guanine to Damaged and Undamaged DNA in Human DNA Polymerase η: Clues for Fidelity and Overall Efficiency

[Image: see text] Human DNA polymerase η (Pol η) plays an essential protective role against skin cancer caused by cyclobutane thymine–thymine dimers (TTDs), a frequent form of DNA damage arising from exposure to the sun. This enzyme rescues stalled replication forks at the TTDs by inserting bases op...
