The nucleic-acid binding cleft is primarily formed by the p66 polymerase and RNase H subdomains. The p51 thumb and connection subdomains form the floor of the binding cleft. In this way, the binding cleft is positioned so that both the polymerase and the RNAse H active sites come in contact with the nucleic acid. | |||
When polymerase activity begins, [[reverse transcriptase]] binds to the nucleic acid substrate. | |||
