Assertion: nucleotide's phosphate | /r/CapableOf | remain on the backbone
Facets:
value: between the new nucleotide
type: LOCATION
value: between the rest of the strand
type: LOCATION
Source sentences:
text: The problem is that if the high energy triphosphates were on the growing strand and not on the free nucleotides, proof-reading by removing a mismatched terminal nucleotide would be problematic: Once a nucleotide is added, the triphosphate is lost and a single phosphate remains on the backbone between the new nucleotide and the rest of the strand.
