  1. Incorporation of cGTP was studied in ECG1, misincorporation of ncGTP, c2'dATP and c3'dATP - in ECA. Kd and kpol (reaction rate at saturating nucleotide triphosphate concentration) for incorporation by WT RNAP were obtained by fitting the kinetics data into a simple kinetic model as described in Additional File 1:Supplementary Methods. The rest of the data were fitted into the Michaelis-Menten equation as described in Materials and Methods. Errors are the standard error of data fitting. The values were rounded to two significant digits.
