Structural highlights 2pol is a 2 chain structure with sequence from Escherichia coli. The June 2012 RCSB PDB Molecule of the Month feature on Sliding Clamps by David Goodsell is 10.2210/rcsb_pdb/mom_2012_6. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance. Method: X-ray diffraction, Resolution 2.5Å Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum, ProSAT Function DPO3B_ECOLI DNA polymerase III is a complex, multichain enzyme responsible for most of the replicative synthesis in bacteria. This DNA polymerase also exhibits 3' to 5' exonuclease activity. The beta chain is required for initiation of replication once it is clamped onto DNA, it slides freely (bidirectional and ATP-independent) along duplex DNA.
