Mechanism of error-free replication across benzo[a]pyrene stereoisomers by Rev1 DNA polymerase

Benzo[a]pyrene (BP) is a carcinogen in cigarette smoke that upon metabolic activation reacts with guanine. Here, the authors present the structures of the translesion DNA synthesis polymerase Rev1 in complex with three of the four possible stereoisomeric BP-N 2 -dG adducts, which gives insights how...
