Polymerases catalyze gene replication and transcription.They modulate activation barriers of nucleotide incorporation and amplify intermediate free energy differentiation between the right and wrong nucleotides.It is essential for the polymerases to achieve sufficiently high fidelity at sufficiently high speed.We had found a small free energy bias in the translocation of an RNA polymerase(RNAP)that aids nucleotide selection [1].
